Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and extend the life of your sneakers, especially given the leather and mesh components.
- Cleaning Leather Sections: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild leather cleaner. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather eraser.
- Cleaning Mesh Base: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a small amount of mild soap and water. Lightly scrub the mesh in a circular motion.
- Outsole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush with soap and water to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsoles.
- Drying: Always allow sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers). Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Maintenance: To prevent cracking and keep the leather supple, consider applying a high-quality leather conditioner periodically. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaning materials.
