Try On: When first receiving your shoes, try them on with your preferred running socks to ensure a proper fit. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Lacing: Lace the shoes securely but not too tightly. Utilize all eyelets to prevent heel slippage and ensure a snug midfoot fit. An extra eyelet at the top can be used for a 'heel lock' lacing technique if needed.
Break-In: While many modern running shoes require minimal break-in, it's advisable to wear them for short walks or light runs before committing to long distances to allow your feet to adjust.
Running Surface: Optimized for road running and paved surfaces due to its high cushioning and smooth outsole design.
Foot Type: Info needed: While generally suitable for neutral runners, specific support features for overpronation or supination are not detailed in the product information. Consult a running specialist for personalized advice.
Activity: Best suited for running, walking, and general athletic activities.
Cleaning: Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause material degradation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove insoles occasionally to air out the inside of the shoe.
Longevity: Running shoes typically last 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor for signs of wear such as reduced cushioning, worn outsole tread, or upper damage.
