To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Novablast 5 shoes, follow these general care guidelines:
Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and cold water with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris that could affect grip or cause damage. Info needed: ASICS specific care instructions or recommendations if available.
