Daily Training: Suitable for regular, moderate-intensity running sessions.
Walking: Excellent choice for long walks or extended periods of standing due to their superior cushioning.

Proper care extends the life and performance of your sneakers:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, tumble dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove insoles to air out if needed, especially after heavy use.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of running shoes. This allows each pair to fully dry out, recover its cushioning, and can extend the overall lifespan of your footwear.
