Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your GEL CHALLENGER 15 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for a few short practice sessions to allow the materials to contour to your foot shape before using them in full competitive matches.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt from the outsole after each session using a soft brush. If the upper gets dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or blow dryers, which can cause the materials to warp or lose their supportive properties.
- Storage: Keep your shoes away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
