Can I use these for running?

How do I maintain the white color?
Regularly wipe them down with a damp cloth and use a shoe protector spray to help repel dirt and stains.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required; simply adjust the laces to your desired tension to secure the fit. For optimal longevity, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white materials. To clean the exterior, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. If the shoes become damp during use, allow them to air dry at room temperature; avoid placing them directly onto heaters or using hair dryers, as extreme heat can damage the adhesives and structural components.
