Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ABZORB 2000 trainers, start by confirming the fit; with a UK 8.5 size, ensure your heel sits securely against the back of the shoe with enough room in the toe box for natural splay. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic socks. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the cushioning foams. Instead, spot clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping.
