• If the shoes are really dirty or frayed on some spots use a special abrasive rubber for cleaning and after that inflict the relevant color paint for the shoes;

• In case of drench, don’t dry your shoes directly in front of a heater or another heating device, but let them stay at room temperature;

4. Maintenance of casual shoes and sneakers
