Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lifestyle sneakers, there is no technical setup required. Simply adjust the laces to your desired tension for a secure fit. Regarding compatibility, the white and green color palette is highly adaptable, working well with denim, neutral-toned trousers, or shorts. To keep the shoes in top condition: wipe the leather surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner for deeper stains, and avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and leather integrity.
