- Athletic shorts, leggings, and track pants.
- Casual jeans, chinos, and comfortable everyday apparel.
- Performance athletic socks for optimal comfort and moisture wicking.
Product Care
Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your shoes:
- Cleaning the Textile Upper: For general dirt and grime, gently wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the material. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Rubber Outsole: A soft brush or old toothbrush can be used with mild soap and water to remove dirt from the tread, ensuring continued traction.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct sunlight or high heat, as this can degrade materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Using shoe deodorizers or stuffing shoes with newspaper when not in use can help absorb moisture and control odors.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
