Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal wear, ensure you select your correct UK adult size. The faux leather upper is relatively low maintenance; simply wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt or surface dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals, as these can degrade the synthetic material. If the laces become frayed, standard replacement laces can easily be threaded through the eyelets to maintain the clean look of the trainer.
