Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 33 trainers, proper care is essential:
- Break-in Period: If new to this series, take a few short walks or light jogs before committing to long-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area. Avoid leaving them in a hot car, as extreme temperatures can affect the performance of the GEL inserts and EVA foam.
