Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your pair, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, as the 574 model typically runs true to size. To keep your sneakers in top condition, avoid getting them soaking wet, as moisture can damage the suede components. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the nylon and suede sections periodically. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring you never put these shoes in a washing machine as it will compromise the integrity of the adhesive and materials.
