okimoz Metallic Gold Platform Sneakers - Care Instructions This shoe features a delicate metallic glossy upper and a white EVA platform sole. Proper care is essential to preserve its shiny finish and structural integrity: Daily Basic Care (After each wear) Metallic Upper: Wipe surface dust and fingerprints with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the glossy finish. White Platform Sole: Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe away dirt or stains. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly to prevent yellowing. Pre-Storage Prep: Remove shoelaces and brush off loose dirt before storing. Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid fading or sole warping. Targeted Stain Removal Metallic Upper Stains: For light stains, use a gentle pH-neutral cleaner diluted with water, applied with a soft cloth. Blot (do not rub) the stained area, then wipe with a clean dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a specialized metallic leather cleaner following product instructions. Sole Stains Regular Maintenance (Once every 1-2 weeks) Protective Spray: Apply a water-based, non-abrasive protective spray to the metallic upper to repel dirt and water, maintaining its glossy appearance. Test the spray on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn`t discolor the material. Sole Whitening Shape Preservation: Insert shoe trees or crumpled newspaper into the shoes when not in use to maintain their shape and prevent creasing of the upper.
