Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Superblast 2 shoes:
Cleaning: Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water mixture on a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove insoles occasionally to air out the inside of the shoes.
Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can degrade the foam and upper materials.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Superblast 2 with another pair of running shoes. This allows the cushioning to fully decompress and recover between runs, extending their lifespan.
