How should I clean the cream-colored sections?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor the materials.

Can I replace the insoles?

What is the best way to prevent water damage?

Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on cream upper
Use a specialized soft-bristled suede or textile brush to gently lift dry debris before applying a mild cleaning foam.
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of the materials used. Utilize shoe trees when not in use to help the leather or synthetic upper maintain its structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in prime condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility is high, as the neutral cream and grey tones allow them to act as a anchor for both minimalist and bold wardrobe palettes. To clean, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the upper. If using water or a cleaning solution, apply it sparingly to a cloth first rather than soaking the shoe, particularly if the upper contains suede or fabric elements. Always air dry away from heat sources to maintain the shape of the shoe.
