Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure your lacing is snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation across the top of the foot. These trainers are standard UK size 10.5 for this specific model, fitting true to size for most adult male users. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean them by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Remove the insoles after particularly wet runs to accelerate the drying process and prevent odors.
