The breathable upper, complete with laser perforations, ensures your feet remain fresh, while the modified circular waffle outsole offers reliable traction on various surfaces. These shoes are built for comfort and stability, allowing you to confidently navigate your day. While they provide excellent cushioning, users accustomed to modern foam-based shoes may notice a firmer, more mechanical feel.

Care
Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the breathable textiles and any leather sections with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Shox Columns: Use a small brush or cloth to clean any dirt or debris from between the Shox columns.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
