Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Field General sneakers, follow these general care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt or minor stains, gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth or brush dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean the textured waffle outsole, removing any trapped dirt or debris to maintain optimal traction.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water.
- Metallic Details: Gently wipe metallic details with a dry, soft cloth to prevent tarnishing and maintain their shine.
- Leather Swoosh: For the leather Swoosh, use a damp cloth for cleaning and consider a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to keep it supple over time.
