Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your BB950 sneakers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes. Instead, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a soft brush. Keep the shoes away from excessive heat, as this can crack the leather or warp the rubber outsole. When choosing your size, consider that these shoes feature a slightly wider profile, which generally offers a true-to-size fit for most adult foot shapes.
