Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Slazenger Force Mesh Trainers is straightforward:
- Lace Adjustment: Upon first wear, adjust the classic lace fastening to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit around your foot. Ensure the laces are neither too tight (restricting circulation) nor too loose (causing instability).
- Utilize Pull Loop: Use the pull loop located on the heel to easily slide your foot into the trainer. This helps maintain the shoe's shape and prevents damage to the heel counter.
Compatibility
- Intended User: Designed for adult men (available in various UK adult male sizes) for general, everyday wear.
- Activity Type: Best suited for casual use, walking, light activities, and daily routines. Not recommended for specialized high-performance sports like competitive running, intensive court sports, or heavy-duty outdoor trails.
- Footwear Pairing: Wear with comfortable socks that wick moisture for optimal foot health and comfort.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Gently brush off loose dirt or debris with a soft brush or dry cloth.
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with water.
- Dampen a cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the mesh upper and outsole. Avoid saturating the fabric.
- Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used carefully.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or use direct heat, as this can damage materials like EVA and memory foam. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can discolour or degrade the materials.
