Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the 578 V1, it is important to follow basic maintenance steps.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Fit: Ensure the UK size 4 fit allows for a small amount of wiggle room for the toes to accommodate natural foot growth.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials.
