Keep your Moonstar Gym Classic trainers looking their best with these care tips:

Regular Cleaning: Remove dirt and dust with a soft brush or damp cloth. For the canvas upper, use a mild soap solution and gently scrub with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains on the canvas, create a paste with baking soda and water, apply gently with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the canvas or rubber.

Drying: Always air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the canvas to fade or the rubber to crack. Stuff with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.

Rubber Care: Clean the vulcanised rubber sole and toe cap with a damp cloth. For scuff marks on white rubber, use a magic eraser or a small amount of toothpaste on a cloth.

Laces: Remove and wash laces separately in warm soapy water, or replace with fresh laces to refresh the look of your trainers.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture - use a breathable shoe bag or box instead.

Waterproofing: While the canvas is durable, you can apply a canvas protector spray to add water resistance, especially useful for the British climate.

Odour Prevention: Allow 24 hours between wears to let the canvas breathe. Use cedar shoe trees or baking soda sachets to absorb moisture and prevent odours.
