Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound while walking
Small amounts of dust or moisture trapped in the Shox columns can cause noise; ensure the columns are clean and completely dry.
Shoe feels stiff initially
The Shox technology is designed for structural support; allow for 2-3 days of regular wear for the materials to naturally break in.
Difficulty cleaning between columns
Use a cotton swab or a fine detail brush to gently remove dirt from between the individual Shox pillars.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for an immediate, true-to-size fit. To ensure they last, avoid machine washing, which can damage the TPU cage and foam components. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush with warm water and mild soap to remove dirt from the mesh and rubber sections. For the Shox columns, ensure debris is cleared out regularly to maintain peak cushioning performance. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber materials from hardening.
