For polyester and synthetic materials, spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is most effective. Use a soft brush for tougher dirt on the sole. Avoid allowing mud or stains to dry completely before cleaning.

Inspect the sole for embedded debris like small stones or excessive dirt. Clean the tread patterns thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. If wear is significant, the outsole might be worn down.
