Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These are ready-to-wear racing shoes. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly. It is recommended to wear them for a short run or two before a major competition to familiarize yourself with their feel and performance characteristics.
Compatibility:
- Surface: Primarily designed for asphalt and other hard, smooth running surfaces.
- Runner Type: Best suited for runners with a neutral pronation.
- Use Case: Optimized for competition and speed training.
Care:
- Cleaning: After running, gently brush off any loose dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
