Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature leather and mesh materials, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth for the mesh areas and a dedicated leather cleaner for the patent overlays to prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals. Ensure they are air-dried away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation. For fit, these models follow standard UK sizing; it is recommended to ensure your specific UK 8 size aligns with your preferred fit for daily comfort.
