For heavy dirt, it's best to let it dry first, then gently brush off as much as possible. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner experienced with velvet.
Can I wear these in the rain?

Troubleshooting
Velvet appears matted or crushed.
Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the velvet pile.
Light stains on the velvet.
Dab the stain gently with a clean cloth slightly dampened with water and a tiny amount of mild detergent. Blot dry immediately.
Shoes feel slightly tight.
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. Avoid using heat as it can damage the velvet.
Poor grip on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but caution is advised on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box; no assembly is required. They are compatible with standard sock wear. Due to the velvet material, specific care is recommended:
- Cleaning: Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and light debris. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, dabbing gently rather than rubbing. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent damage to the velvet and sole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect the velvet from dust and crushing.
- Protection: Consider a fabric protector spray suitable for velvet, applying it sparingly and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
