Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Metaspeed Sky Tokyo trainers, avoid using them as everyday walking or casual shoes, as the high-rebound foam is designed for specific racing impact. Since they feature a 5 mm drop, ensure this aligns with your natural gait. For cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized foam structure. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, to prevent warping of the carbon plate or midsole materials.
