Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Lyte Classic trainers last, proper care is essential. Given the suede material, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use. To clean, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede eraser. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources such as radiators, which can warp the material.
