How should I clean my trainers?
Clean them using a soft-bristled brush and a mild detergent with lukewarm water. Never put them in the washing machine or dryer.
What is the primary use for this trainer?
They are designed for speed and endurance, specifically for athletes training on varied surfaces like cross-country courses and tracks.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure on the top of the foot
Try a lacing technique such as the 'window lacing' method to relieve pressure on the midfoot while maintaining a secure lock.
Accumulation of mud in the outsole lugs
Use a specialized rubber brush or a blunt plastic tool to clear debris from the tread pattern after use to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, it is vital to select the correct size, as the Zoom Rival Waffle 6 follows a performance-oriented fit. When setting up for your first run, consider wearing the specific socks you intend to race in to accurately gauge the fit. For care, keep your trainers away from extreme heat sources, as this can degrade the specialized outsole rubber. If the shoes become muddy after a session, use a soft brush and lukewarm water to gently scrub away debris. Allow them to air-dry naturally in a cool, ventilated space, avoiding direct sunlight.
