Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come with pre-inserted spikes. Ensure they are securely fastened before use. For optimal performance and safety, consider using the included spike wrench to tighten any that may have loosened during shipping.
Compatibility: The Nike Air Zoom Rival Distance Spikes are designed exclusively for use on standard athletic tracks (e.g., synthetic or cinder tracks). They are not compatible with road surfaces, trails, or indoor gym floors, as the spikes can cause damage and provide unsafe traction on these surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris from the outsole and upper using a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Spike Maintenance: Regularly check the condition of the spikes. Replace any that are bent, worn, or missing. Store spare spikes in a safe place.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to store them in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
