Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede material, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. Always use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris after use. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack. For optimal performance, ensure the laces are adjusted to lock the midfoot securely, taking advantage of the internal Torsion System. Given the substantial nature of the Crazy 8, ensure that your socks provide adequate arch support to match the built-in stability features of the shoe.
