Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are designed for immediate use on race day or for targeted speed workouts. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug, secure fit. A brief break-in period of a few shorter runs might be beneficial to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
Compatibility: Optimized for road racing. While they can be used for speed work on a track, their primary design and outsole are best suited for asphalt and paved surfaces. They are not recommended for trail running or extensive use on abrasive surfaces.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or washing machines, as these can damage the delicate materials and adhesives.
- Drying: After cleaning or use in wet conditions, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
