Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and brush the mesh surfaces lightly. Keep them away from high heat.

To achieve the best fit, utilize the adjustable laces to ensure the midfoot is snug but not constricting. Given the leather and mesh construction, avoid machine washing these sneakers. Instead, spot clean the leather portions with a soft, damp cloth and use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or debris from the mesh areas. Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the materials.
