Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:
Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and mud from the uppers (mesh) and soles (rubber) using a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can degrade cushioning foams and adhesives.
Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear, especially the ASICSGRIP areas, to ensure optimal traction.
