    Notes

    Treat as mesh/textile + synthetic + rubber, not leather. Soft brush only. Worth swapping the laces for flat black 100–120 cm and adding a thin anti-odour insole.

    Care regimens

    Sneakers — mesh, textile, synthetic

    every ~21 days

    Gentle cleaning with a sneaker foam/cleaner, a soft brush, drying and a light textile protector. No leather products.

    Everyday

    After each wear and periodically.

    1. Dry, soft brush over the mesh — mesh frays easily.
    2. Air the shoes, pull the insoles to dry, deodorant periodically.

    What not to do

    • Don't use a hard brush on mesh — fraying and tears. Soft only.

    When dirty

    When visibly dirty.

    1. Remove the insoles and laces.
    2. Dry, soft brush over the mesh.
    3. Sneaker cleaner + a soft brush; work gently.
    4. Lift foam and dirt with microfibre. The sole can take a firmer brush.
    5. Dry naturally 12–24 h with paper inside, away from the radiator, then refresh the protector.

    What not to do

    • A melamine sponge only on rubber/edges, never on mesh or leather (it abrades).

    Just bought

    Before first wear.

    1. A universal textile/synthetic protector, thin.
    2. Fit an anti-odour insole; a deodorant keeps them fresh.

    What not to do

    • No leather products — Wonder Balsam, cream or Martens polish don't belong here.

    Restore

    only when needed

    Only when the laces are tired or odour won't shift.

    1. Swap tired laces for fresh ones — the cheapest visual upgrade.
    2. For stubborn odour, replace the anti-odour insoles and air them out, deodorant overnight.

    What not to do

    • If the cause is feet/socks/fungus, spray and insoles won't help.
