- Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for all seasons, though best kept out of heavy rain and snow to preserve the leather.
Care
Consistent care will keep your trainers looking their best.
- General Cleaning:
- For the matte leather upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Then, gently wipe with a damp cloth (not wet) to clean the surface. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to its instructions.
- For the platform sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean any scuffs or dirt. Wipe dry immediately.
- Protection:
- Apply a leather protector spray regularly to help repel water and stains, especially before first wear.
- Consider a leather conditioner periodically to keep the matte leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the leather or sole.
