Using these Brooks running shoes is a breeze. Just slip them on, tie up the laces with the external lacing system for a distraction - free fit, and you're ready to hit the road or go for a walk. When it comes to maintenance, keep them clean by gently wiping them with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the Fit Knit upper. Also, store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Be careful not to expose them to extreme temperatures. If you notice any signs of wear and tear, especially on the midsole and outsole, it might be time to consider getting a new pair to ensure continued support and comfort.
