Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or stains on the fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Retropy E5 trainers last, begin by ensuring a proper fit; this specific model is sized at 10 UK. Before initial use, consider applying a sneaker-specific water and stain repellent spray to help protect the fabric from the elements. When the shoes become dirty, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with mild soap to gently clean the surface. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the materials and adhesives over time.
