Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Begin by loosening the laces fully. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
- Adjusting Fit: Gradually tighten the laces from the toe towards the ankle. Adjust each section until the shoe feels snug and secure, without being overly tight or causing pressure points.
- Knotting: Tie a double knot to ensure the laces remain secure during intense activity.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for adult males (UK size 8). They are best paired with athletic socks that provide cushioning and moisture-wicking properties to enhance comfort and performance. They are compatible with various court surfaces, with the 'EP' designation indicating suitability for outdoor use.
Care:
- Cleaning Leather: For general dirt, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can severely damage the leather and structural integrity.
