Lacing Your Shoes
Proper lacing is essential for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight to prevent pressure points. You may experiment with different lacing techniques to find what best suits your foot shape and activity.
Initial Fit Check
When first trying on your TS-01 Cross Trainers, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel secure, and your heel should not slip excessively. Walk around to assess comfort and support before engaging in strenuous activity.

Cleaning Instructions
- For light dirt, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub the mesh and sole.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
Drying
Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause materials to shrink or crack. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and damage.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or Poor Fit
- Check Lacing: Ensure laces are not too tight or too loose. Adjust as needed for optimal comfort and support.
- Sock Choice: Wear appropriate athletic socks that provide cushioning and wick moisture.
- Break-in Period: New shoes may require a short break-in period. Gradually increase wear time.
- Sizing: Refer to the sizing guide to confirm you have the correct size.
Premature Wear and Tear
- Usage: Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (cross-training, general fitness). Excessive use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear.
- Rotation: If you train frequently, consider rotating between multiple pairs of shoes to extend their lifespan.
- Cleaning: Regular cleaning and proper drying can prevent material degradation.
