Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Pureboost 5 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the lace closure is adjusted for a snug but comfortable hold. Because of the mesh upper, the shoe will naturally conform to your foot shape over time.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the BOOST foam cells.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK size fit; ensure you measure your foot accurately when ordering.
