To maintain the performance and appearance of your Cloudrunner 2 shoes:
Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the mesh and synthetic upper with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Outsole: Remove any dirt or debris from the outsole using a brush. The improved design reduces stone-picking, but occasional checks are still beneficial.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity.
