Lace Up Mesh Breathable Athletic — Fit, Materials & Care
How to measure
Follow these steps to find the best size and fit for your Lace Up Mesh Breathable Athletic shoes.
- Prepare: a sheet of paper, a pen, a ruler or tape measure, and the socks you plan to wear.
- Trace your foot: place the paper on a hard, flat surface. Stand with your heel lightly against a straight edge and trace the outline of your foot while keeping the pen vertical.
- Measure length: measure from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe in centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm). Repeat for both feet and use the larger measurement.
- Add clearance: add 0.5–1.0 cm to the longest foot length to allow comfortable toe room; this is the recommended internal length.
- Measure width: measure around the widest part of the forefoot (the ball of the foot). If your measurement indicates a notably wider forefoot, consider sizing up or selecting a wide option if available.
- Compare: match your adjusted length to the brand size chart. If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
- Confirm with an existing shoe: remove the insole from a well-fitting shoe, lay it flat, and measure its length to cross-check sizing.
- Tips: measure at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen, and always measure with the socks you'll wear with the shoes.
Materials & construction
Key materials used in this style and how they benefit the shoe:
- Upper: Breathable mesh knit (polyester/nylon) for airflow and flexible fit.
- Support overlays: Synthetic TPU or bonded reinforcements at the heel and eyelets for structure and durability.
- Lining: Moisture-wicking textile to help keep feet dry and comfortable.
- Midsole: Lightweight EVA foam for cushioning and shock absorption.
- Insole: Removable foam or memory-foam sockliner for added comfort and easy cleaning or replacement.
- Outsole: Durable rubber with flex grooves for traction and natural movement.
- Laces & hardware: Polyester laces and reinforced eyelets for a secure fit.
Together these materials create a lightweight, breathable, and supportive athletic shoe suitable for everyday wear and light training.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)
- Daily care: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth after each wear.
- Spot cleaning: Use a mild soap and warm water with a soft brush for mesh and synthetic parts. Wipe away soap residue with a damp cloth.
- Machine washing: Not recommended for long-term durability. If necessary, remove insoles and laces, place shoes in a laundry bag, wash on a gentle cold cycle, and air dry.
- Air dry only: Avoid dryers and direct heat. Stuff shoes with paper towels or use shoe trees to keep shape while drying.
- Odor control: Remove insoles to air out, use baking soda or a sneaker deodorizer between wears.
- Protection: Apply a fabric-safe water and stain repellent for technical textiles; test on a small area first.
- Special materials: Treat suede, nubuck or genuine leather accents with products specific to those materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and rotate shoes to allow cushioning to recover.
Style tips
- Athleisure: Pair with leggings, bike shorts or joggers and an oversized tee or hoodie for a comfortable everyday look.
- Street style: Wear with cropped or cuffed jeans and crew socks to showcase the shoe profile.
- Gym-ready: Combine with performance shorts and a moisture-wicking top for workouts or runs.
- Smart-casual: Try slim chinos and a lightweight jacket for a neat, casual vibe.
- Color play: Use neutral shoes to anchor bold outfits or let bright shoe accents pick up a color from your top or accessories.
- Travel: These lightweight shoes are easy to pack and comfortable for long days of walking.
