Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your running shoes:
Cleaning: Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth after each run. For tougher stains, use a mild soap mixed with water. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat (like radiators or sunlight), as this can damage materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover its cushioning between uses, extending their overall lifespan.
Insoles: The ORTHOLITE insoles can be removed and aired out separately to prevent odor build-up.
