The trainers feature a construction of suede and leather for the upper, offering a blend of style and durability.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect the materials.
Is there a break-in period for these shoes?
As with many shoes, there may be a short break-in period. Wearing them for gradually longer periods can help them conform to your foot for maximum comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a specialized suede eraser for dry stains or a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by air drying.
Leather scuffs easily
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner can help restore the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Shoe feels tight after initial wear
The shoes may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If the tightness persists and is uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if a wider fit is needed.
Sole shows wear quickly
Ensure you are not using the trainers for activities that put excessive stress on the sole, such as intense sports. Regular cleaning of the sole can also help maintain its grip and integrity.
