FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though individual foot shape can affect fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and cushioning technology. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary difference between ENCAP and ABZORB?
ENCAP provides structural support and stability via a durable rim, whereas ABZORB is focused on shock absorption and impact protection.
Are these suitable for athletic running?
These are primarily lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for walking and casual movement, they are not designed for high-performance running.
How do I identify a genuine 997S Bodega collaboration?
Check the tongue and insole for brand markings and verify the MPN matches the authentic MS997JBO series details.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper material
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth without saturating the fabric.
Feeling a loss of support over time
Check the condition of the inner lining and consider replacing the factory insole with a fresh pair to restore underfoot comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for short initial sessions to let the materials mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains, apply a mild detergent diluted in water using a clean cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the quality of the upper materials.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the decorative accents.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate your footwear to allow the midsole materials to fully recover their shape and cushioning properties after heavy use.
