Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Before your first run, take time to properly lace your shoes. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight across the top of your foot. Use all eyelets for maximum security, especially if you experience heel slippage.
- First Wear: Wear them around the house for a short period to get accustomed to the feel. This can help identify any immediate pressure points before a full run.
Compatibility
- Runner Type: Ideal for neutral runners seeking a cushioned and responsive everyday trainer.
- Activity: Best suited for road running, track workouts, and general fitness training.
- Surface: Performs optimally on paved roads, sidewalks, and well-maintained track surfaces.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your Pegasus 41 shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the mesh upper. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole with a stiff brush or old toothbrush. This helps maintain optimal traction.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp materials or cause adhesives to weaken.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider removing insoles and stuffing with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape if they become very wet.
- Odour Control: If needed, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Remove before use.
