To use these Etnies MTB shoes, simply lace them up through the eyelets and tuck the laces into the pocket on the tongue for a clean look. When riding, they'll give you good grip on multi - placement pedals. For cleaning, use a soft brush and mild soap to gently scrub the upper. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the materials. After cleaning, let them air dry naturally. Don't expose them to direct sunlight or high - heat sources for too long. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place to keep them in good condition.
