Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during exercise
Ensure you are using a secure double-knot or a runner's loop to maintain tension throughout your workout.
Midsole foam feels dusty or loses its bounce
Gently clean the edges of the midsole with a damp cloth to remove debris; do not use harsh solvents as they can degrade the foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, utilizing the standard lace closure to lock the midfoot in place. These trainers fit true to size for most users, offering a secure regular fit. To maintain the life of your Pureboost 5s, avoid machine washing or drying. If they get muddy or dirty, gently wipe the mesh upper with a soft cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the midsole foam and adhesives over time.
