Look after the pair you already own

Build a care checklist from the instructions supplied with the exact pair. Record damage, separation or stud wear before deciding whether another season of use is sensible.

Keep product care instructions and the retailer’s returns terms together. A photo or short description may not establish whether footwear is safe to continue using.

What to do next

• Inspect the upper, fastening and sole.
• Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions instead of generic heat or machine-wash advice.
