Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Cielo X1 trainers:
- Break-in period: Wear them for a few short, fast-paced test runs before committing to a long race to ensure the fit works with your specific foot strike.
- Lacing: Take advantage of the asymmetrical lacing by adjusting the tension evenly across the midfoot to prevent hotspots.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the specialized foam and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the midsole materials to break down prematurely.
- Compatibility: These are neutral racing shoes; check if you require specific arch support or stability features from an insert if you typically use custom orthotics.
