Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To ensure the best fit and performance:
- Lace Properly: Unlace the shoes fully, slide your foot in, and then progressively tighten the laces from the toe towards the ankle, ensuring an even, snug fit without excessive pressure.
- Sock Choice: Wear the type of running socks you typically use to get an accurate feel for the fit.
Compatibility
- Foot Type: Generally well-suited for neutral runners and those with mild pronation.
- Running Surface: Optimized for road running surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and track.
- Activity: Ideal for running, walking, and general athletic training. Not recommended for sports requiring significant lateral movements or aggressive traction (e.g., basketball, trail running).
Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) diluted in water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in a car or hot environments for extended periods.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover between uses, extending their lifespan.
