Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, lace the shoes snugly to engage the lockdown system along the midfoot. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. Because these shoes feature leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals. Instead, use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or warping. Store in a cool, dry environment to maintain the integrity of the cushioning foam.
