4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your Fila Memory Valant 5 shoes.
- Cleaning:
- For surface dirt, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- 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 heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation.
- Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage:

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Fila Memory Valant 5 shoes, consider the following common solutions:
- Discomfort or Rubbing:
- Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
- Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.
- Allow for a break-in period, as the Memory Foam will adapt.
- Verify correct shoe size.
- Squeaking Noise:
- Sometimes new shoes can squeak due to friction between materials. This often resolves with wear.

- Reduced Traction:
- Clean the outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing grip.
