Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their look and feel, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For cleaning, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this may damage the materials and adhesive. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
