Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For general maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials or finish.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shoe.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape over time.
