Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these care steps:
- Fit: Adjust the adhesive straps to ensure the foot is locked in, but avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. For the rubber outsole, use a soft-bristled brush to remove trapped dirt or debris from the grip pattern.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or fade over time.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the adhesive straps for lint or fiber buildup; keeping the velcro clean ensures maximum bonding strength.
