Setup, Compatibility & Care

Since these trainers feature a suede construction, proper care is essential to ensure longevity. Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain, as prolonged moisture can degrade the suede fibers. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. If you encounter stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser or a professional-grade suede cleaner. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the grey and cream tones. When sizing, these trainers fit standard UK adult sizes; ensure you select the appropriate length for your foot to fully benefit from the padded collar support.
