Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your Free Metcon 6 shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially if dirty, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
