Operating (Wearing)

- Comfort Check: The sneakers are designed for everyday wear. If any discomfort arises, re-evaluate the lacing or consider wearing appropriate socks to improve fit and cushioning.
Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning and proper storage are crucial for preserving the appearance and integrity of your GUESS sneakers.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Leather Sections: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Textile Sections: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted laundry detergent) to clean textile areas. Avoid saturating the material.
- Soles: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt, mud, and debris.
- General: Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the materials.
Drying and Storage:
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) or direct sunlight, as this can cause material shrinkage, cracking, or discoloration.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To help maintain their shape, consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your sneakers.
- Loose Fit: If the sneakers feel too loose, ensure the laces are tightened evenly across your foot. Re-tie them for a more secure fit.
- Tight Fit/Discomfort: If the sneakers feel too tight or cause discomfort, loosen the laces. Verify that the correct size was purchased. Consider wearing thinner socks if necessary.
- Material Wear/Scuffs: Regular cleaning and proper storage, as outlined in the Maintenance section, can significantly extend the life of the materials. Avoid dragging your feet or exposing the sneakers to abrasive surfaces to minimize scuffs.
- Odor: To prevent odor, ensure sneakers are fully dry before storage. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets.
