Can I put these in the washing machine?

What is the purpose of the flared heel?
The flared heel is a hallmark of the LD-1000 series, specifically designed to increase stability and provide a wider footprint for support.
How do I protect the leather?
Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically and a protective spray to prevent water damage and staining.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use wooden shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your LD-1000s last, it is important to follow proper care routines.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the leather surfaces. For deeper cleans, use a mild soap specifically formulated for leather and wipe with a damp cloth.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather can protect against the elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the red and yellow colorway over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. They pair well with casual apparel like jeans or joggers but can also complement athletic leisurewear.
