Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Instructions:

• Upper: For synthetic and polyester upper materials, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
• Sole: Clean the synthetic rubber sole with a brush to remove dirt and debris, which helps maintain traction.
• Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not expose to direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can damage materials.
