No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the leather and the integrity of the Shox cushioning. Please follow the manual care instructions.

Shox cushioning columns are designed to provide superior impact absorption and energy return, offering a responsive and comfortable feel underfoot, especially beneficial for extended periods of standing or walking.

The combination of leather and synthetic overlays provides some resistance to light moisture, but these sneakers are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions.

Use a damp cloth, an old toothbrush, or a soft brush with a little mild soap to scrub off dirt and grime from the rubber sole. Wipe clean afterwards.

Check the rubber sole for any trapped debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the squeaking persists, it might be due to the Shox columns settling; this often resolves with continued wear.

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are snug but not constricting. Verify you have the correct size, as an incorrect size can lead to discomfort.

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out scuff marks. For tougher dirt, a leather brush can be used carefully.

Prepare a solution of mild soap and water. Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid saturating the material.

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. The Shox columns may need a few wears to fully adapt to your gait. If new, some initial firmness is normal.
