Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the 578 V1, it is important to follow basic maintenance steps.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the mesh components.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or heaters, which can warp the materials.
- Fit: Ensure the UK size 4 fit allows for a small amount of wiggle room for the toes to accommodate natural foot growth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials.
