Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the lifespan of your Alpina EWL sneakers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider stuffing them with newspaper to maintain their shape.
- Footbed: The interchangeable footbeds can be removed and air-dried separately if they become damp or require cleaning.
