Setup: 1. Lacing: Before wearing, ensure laces are securely tied for a comfortable and customized fit. Adjust the tightness to your preference, taking advantage of the padded ankle collar for support. 2. Initial Treatment: *Crucially*, before the first wear, treat the trainers with a suitable waterproofing agent. This will help protect the leather and mesh from moisture and stains. Follow the instructions of your chosen waterproofing product carefully. Compatibility: These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of outfits, from casual jeans and shorts to more elevated athleisure wear or even smart-casual ensembles. Their retro-inspired yet modern aesthetic allows them to complement various personal styles. Care: 1. Cleaning: To maintain the appearance of your trainers, clean them regularly using a soft, damp cloth. Gently wipe away dirt and surface grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the leather and mesh. 2. Drying: If your trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the leather to crack or warp. 3. Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a dustbag or a shoe box to protect them from dust, dirt, and potential damage. This also helps maintain their shape.
