Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly and tied securely but not too tightly. Adjust the tightness to provide a snug fit without restricting circulation.

Foot Type: Designed to offer a balanced blend of cushioning and support, generally suitable for a range of foot types. If you have specific pronation needs, you might want to consult a specialist.
Terrain: Best suited for paved surfaces, tracks, and indoor use. While capable of light unpaved paths, they are not designed for rugged trail running.
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., old toothbrush). Mix a small amount of mild soap with water and use a cloth or sponge to clean the upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure and cushioning. Hand cleaning is always recommended.
