Tips

For optimal performance, size down 1-2 EU sizes from your street shoe size. The synthetic upper will stretch minimally, so a snug initial fit is recommended. Allow a short break-in period for the shoe to mold to your foot. Use a shoe brush to clean the rubber after each session to maintain friction. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong the life of the rubber.
