To maximize the lifespan and performance of your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 Clay sneakers:
Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off loose clay and dirt from the upper and outsole. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Remove insoles to help them dry faster and prevent odor. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight, then tap it out in the morning. Alternatively, use commercial shoe deodorizers.
