Dry Properly, Never Fast
After a wet run, remove the insoles, loosen the laces and let the shoes air dry away from direct sunlight. Heat degrades adhesives and hardens foam.
Clean Gently
A soft brush, cool water and a little mild soap handle almost everything. Skip the washing machine — the drum destroys midsole structure and knit uppers.
Know When To Retire A Pair
Most trainers give 500 to 800km. Watch for creasing across the midsole, flattened outsole lugs and a ride that suddenly feels harsh rather than lively.
