What is the recommended cleaning method for the mesh upper?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose during a run
Adjust the lacing system. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the optimal fit for your foot shape and running style. Ensure the tongue is centered.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
The breathable mesh upper is designed to ventilate, but ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. Avoid cotton socks, which can trap heat and moisture.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the durable rubber outsole offers excellent traction, be mindful on extremely slick or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. If wear is significant, consider replacing shoes.
A squeaking sound occurs while running
Often, this can be caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's base. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, and ensure they are thoroughly dry before reinserting. Sometimes, a small amount of baby powder can help.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Nike Zoom Fly 6 shoes, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning: Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). Mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water. Use a cloth or soft brush dipped in the solution to clean the mesh upper and rubber outsole. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb excess moisture.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow them to air out separately. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Inspection: Regularly check the durable rubber outsole for excessive wear, especially if you run frequently, to ensure continued optimal traction.
