Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Instructions

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your sneakers, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Suede Upper: Use a soft brush or a specialized suede cleaner to gently remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the material.
- Rubber Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft-bristled brush can be used.
- Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent, then air-dried.
Always allow your sneakers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Storage
Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Common Fit Issues
- Tongue Discomfort: If the shoe tongue feels like it's digging into your leg, try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing thicker socks to provide additional cushioning.
- Sizing: If the fit feels off, consider the common advice to size down by half a size for a snugger fit, or ensure you have chosen the correct width for your foot.
Material Care Concerns
- Suede Stains: For difficult stains on the suede, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized suede stain remover product, following its instructions carefully.
- Sole Wear: While the rubber sole is durable, excessive wear can occur with heavy use. Regular inspection can help identify when replacement or repair might be necessary.
