Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth, following the product instructions, and allow to air dry.
Nylon sections look faded or grimy.
Wipe down nylon areas with a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the material.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and color. Clean existing laces by hand-washing them with soap and water.
Slight odor inside the trainers.
Ensure the trainers are fully dry after wear. Use a shoe deodorizer or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Air them out regularly.
