How to Clean Your Shoes

Maintaining your shoes is important for prolonging their lifespan and ensuring top-notch performance, especially after intense games on outdoor courts. Below are detailed instructions on how to clean and maintain your shoes effectively.

What You'll Need:

• A soft brush or old toothbrush
• A mild soap or gentle detergent
• A clean cloth or sponge
• Lukewarm water
• Microfiber towel or paper towels

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process:

1. Remove the laces and insoles: Start by taking out the laces and insoles. This will make it easier to clean the entire surface of the shoes. Laces can be washed separately by hand or in a mesh laundry bag.
2. Dry brush the dirt off: Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to gently remove loose dirt and debris from the surface of your shoes. Focus on areas where dirt accumulates, like the sole and mesh.
3. Prepare the cleaning solution: Mix a small amount of mild soap or detergent with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as they can damage the materials of your SpeedStreak Elite shoes.
4. Clean the shoes: Dip the cloth or sponge into the soapy water and gently wipe down the shoes. Be sure to avoid soaking them, especially if they are made of mesh or other breathable materials. For tougher stains, use the brush with a bit more pressure.
5. Rinse and wipe: Dampen a separate cloth with clean water and wipe away the soap residue. Ensure there is no soap left on the shoes to avoid any residue build-up.
6. Dry properly: Pat the shoes with a microfiber towel to absorb excess water. Then let them air dry in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like a dryer or radiator), as this can warp the material or damage the glue.
7. Clean the soles: For the soles, use a little extra soap and the brush to scrub away any tough grime. Rinse them off lightly and wipe dry.

Additional Tips:

Tip: For deeper cleaning, especially after heavy use on outdoor courts, consider using a specialized sneaker cleaner. Be sure to test any new cleaning product on a small, less visible area of the shoe first.

Tip: Avoid using a washing machine for your SpeedStreak Elite shoes, as this can compromise their structure and performance over time.

Maintaining Your Shoes:

To prolong the life of your shoes, we recommend cleaning them regularly and storing them in a dry, well-ventilated space. Avoid leaving them in your gym bag or car for extended periods, especially after use.
