Care & Maintenance

• Clean the suede upper with a specialized suede brush or eraser to maintain the texture and remove surface dust.
• Use a damp cloth and mild, dye-free detergent for the mesh and rubber sections; avoid soaking the shoe entirely.
• Never use a washing machine or dryer, as high temperatures can damage the ENCAP midsole and cause the leather to stiffen.
• Store with shoe trees in a cool, dry place to preserve the original shape and prevent creasing.
