Running on dirt and trails offers some of the best cardio by testing your endurance and balance. However, the 860v11s could get dirty while blazing through your favorite trail. If dirt stays too long in the mesh uppers, the shoe’s integrity could fall apart. That is why it is crucial to keep your sneakers clean.
