Care
Proper care will preserve the premium look and longevity of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off surface dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning (Leather): Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its luxurious feel. This is especially important for blue leather to keep its vibrant tone.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove scuffs and dirt.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them away from direct sunlight.
