Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Challenger 8 trainers, keep the following in mind:
- Sizing: These shoes are true to size; ensure a thumbs-width of space in the toe box for descent comfort.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few short runs to allow the foam to adapt to your specific stride.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or cracking.
