Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are lace-up, ensure you use the eyelets correctly to lock in your preferred tension for a secure fit. For compatibility, they pair well with joggers, denim, or casual shorts. To maintain the quality of the materials, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive integrity. Use a gentle brush to clean the mesh areas and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the midsole foam to warp.
