Proper care extends the life and performance of your Nike Free Metcon 6:
Cleaning: Wipe down the breathable mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For tougher grime, a soft brush can be used gently. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and let them air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to help absorb moisture and odors.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing in cramped or humid conditions to prevent material degradation.
