How should I clean the 'Black Coffee' textile parts?

Can these trainers be worn by women?

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear

This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

The hedgy rubber outsole provides good grip, but all rubber outsoles can have reduced performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.

Materials appear faded

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Follow the recommended care instructions for cleaning.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and leather areas with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
