A good tip to keep them like new (in particular if you have a white model), is not to fall on a hairpin turn the third time you wear them. Don't ask me how I know this.

Also, don't come off and slide 8ft along the ground before coming to a stop. Wearing Neoprene shoe covers over the top won't help either, the tarmac soon wears through. Don't ask me how I know this either 🙂
