FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?

Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Use hand cleaning methods with mild soap and a soft cloth to preserve the materials and the structural integrity of the pods.

What is the primary material of the upper?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning between the waved sole gaps
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a specialized crevice brush to gently remove dirt from the molded sections of the sole.
Creasing on the upper overlays
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the trainers maintain their shape and minimize natural creasing from wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature mixed materials and specialized textures, consistent care is recommended to keep them looking fresh. For standard maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the upper and the crevices of the waved sole. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the molded overlays and the performance foams. If the trainers become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation. Ensure you select the correct size, as the structure is engineered for a precise, supportive fit.
