Thanks to the EVA midsole and NB Comfort insert, these trainers offer a soft and supportive feel underfoot, which is particularly beneficial when you're on your feet for several hours. The synthetic upper ensures that while the shoes are comfortable, they also maintain their structure and appearance with regular use. Their black color makes them a wardrobe staple, easily integrating into various casual looks without drawing excessive attention. Remember, while comfortable for general movement, these are not engineered for rigorous running or training sessions.
Lacing: Upon first wear, ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around your foot.
Break-in Period: While generally comfortable from the start, allow a short break-in period for the shoe to fully conform to your foot's shape.
Wardrobe: These trainers are highly compatible with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, shorts, tracksuits, and activewear. Their classic black design makes them a versatile staple.
Activities: Best suited for casual walking, everyday wear, and light leisure activities. Not recommended for high-performance sports or heavy-duty outdoor work.
Spot Cleaning: For dirt or minor scuffs, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water and a mild detergent (e.g., dish soap). Gently rub the affected area.
Brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) for tougher dirt on the sole or hard-to-reach areas.
Rinsing: Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers. Do not place them in direct sunlight, on a heater, or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the NB Comfort insert and air it out. You can also use shoe deodorizer sprays or inserts.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
