Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear right out of the box. To maintain their appearance, spot clean the cotton canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue and material integrity over time. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew on the fabric. To ensure the best fit, pair these with mid-weight cotton socks, as the canvas material may feel stiff during the first few days of wear.
