Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your pair, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate the natural shape of your foot. For daily care, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and maintain the appearance of the grey fabric. To preserve the longevity of the rubber outsoles, avoid storing the shoes in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can cause the rubber to degrade. If the shoes become very dirty, spot cleaning with a mild soap solution is recommended over machine washing, which can damage the glue bonds and materials.
