To use these shoes, simply lace them up and you're ready for your workout. They're great for running, jogging, or any athletic activity. When it comes to maintenance, you can machine wash them to keep them clean. However, make sure to use a gentle cycle. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or sharp objects that could damage the mesh upper. Also, if the insole loses its cushioning over time, you can consider replacing it with a new Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole for continued comfort.
