Care
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes and maintains their performance:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or use direct heat, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
- Rotation: Consider rotating your Endorphin Speed 5 with other running shoes, especially if you run frequently. This allows the cushioning to decompress and can prolong the lifespan of all your footwear.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can be too harsh and may compromise the shoe's structure and materials.
