Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Bondi 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks before committing to long runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a washing machine, as high temperatures and heavy agitation can damage the foam and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, shaded area. Direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or dryers) can warp the midsole material and shrink the fabric upper.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Remove insoles occasionally to allow the interior to breathe if you have been exercising intensely.
