- Lacing: The shoe features a traditional lacing system. Simply thread the laces through the eyelets and tie them to your preferred tightness for a secure and comfortable fit.

- Usage: Best suited for casual wear, fashion, and everyday lifestyle activities. It is not designed for athletic performance.
Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your sneakers:
- General Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, gently wipe the nylon and leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. A mild soap diluted in water can be used for more stubborn marks, but apply sparingly.
- Suede Care: For the suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, a suede eraser or a damp cloth *very* lightly dabbed with specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to clean the rubber outsole and the distinctive waffle lugs, removing any trapped dirt or debris.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources (like radiators), or tumble dryers, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
