No specific setup is required; the shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size, referencing the UK sizing chart. To maintain the shoes, clean them regularly with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing; instead, air dry them away from direct sunlight or heat. Check the wear of the outsole regularly, especially if used frequently on abrasive surfaces, and replace the shoes when the tread wears down to maintain optimal performance.
