2. Clean the Leather Upper

• 🧴 Apply a small amount of biodegradable cleaning foam to a soft-bristled brush.

• 🔄 Gently scrub the leather in circular motions to lift dirt and stains.

• 🧻 Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe away any residue and dry with a clean cloth.

3. Tackle the Suede Areas

6. Dry Properly

• 📦 Stuff the trainers with paper towels to help them retain their shape while drying.
