Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. To maintain their longevity, it is recommended to keep them dry and away from extreme heat sources. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and uppers. For stubborn stains, spot clean with a mild soap solution and a cloth, ensuring you do not submerge the shoes in water, as this can degrade the adhesives. If you use them for skating, checking the outsole for grip wear periodically is advised.
