Suede aid
For suede trainers, we recommend using
a rubber brush specifically made for suede.
This will not only help remove the dust and
build-up that suede typically attracts, but will
also revive the nap of the suede (technical
term for the grain of the fabric).

Keep it simple
If, or when, they get
muddy, use a damp
cloth to wipe away
any superficial dirt on
the leather. Avoid using
baby wipes on trainers,
as these often contain
lanolin or other lotions,
which can do more
harm than good.

Pearly whites
Use an old toothbrush to clean
the sole, dipping it in soapy
water – this will allow you to get
deep into the sole markings.
No toothpaste necessary.
