Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your ASICS GEL-Kayano 14:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt or mud with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like diluted dish soap) with lukewarm water and a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the mesh and leather surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow your shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials, cause shrinkage, or weaken adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with crumpled paper to help maintain their shape.
- Maintenance: Rotate your running shoes to allow them to fully dry and recover between uses. This helps extend the lifespan of the cushioning and upper materials. Remove insoles periodically to air them out and prevent odor buildup.
