While the Boost midsole offers excellent cushioning, the NMD S1 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It may not provide the specific support or structure required for high-impact athletic activities.
How should I clean the knit upper without damaging it?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the knit. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents that could snag or discolor the fabric.
What is the benefit of the Trefoil design on the outsole?
The Trefoil design on the rubber outsole is engineered to provide optimal grip, traction, and stability, aiding in quick movements and torsion control.

Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort after first wear
The knit bootie construction may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Dirt marks on the painted heel or outsole
Gently wipe the affected areas with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a very mild soap solution with a soft cloth, then wipe clean with plain water.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The Boost midsole is designed for durability, but its responsiveness can be maintained by keeping the shoes clean and avoiding prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
