With proper waterproofing treatment, these trainers can withstand light moisture. However, due to the combination of leather and mesh, they are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Heavy rain or snow is not recommended to preserve the materials.

Ensure you have treated the shoes with a waterproofing agent before the first wear, and reapply periodically. Regularly clean the trainers with a soft, damp cloth as per care instructions. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for white leather.

Verify that the lace-up fastening is adjusted correctly for a snug yet comfortable fit. While the trainers feature a cushioned insole and padded ankle collar, individual foot mechanics vary. Consider adding specialized insoles for additional arch or comfort support if needed.

Squeaking can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch to absorb moisture. If the squeaking persists, it might be an issue with the outsole, though less common with quality rubber.
