FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature classic performance technology, the Gel Lyte 3 is intended primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The Gel Lyte 3 generally fits true to size, but the split-tongue can feel snug initially; if you prefer a roomier fit, consider trying on with your preferred daily socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and adhesive components; always clean by hand.
What is the benefit of the split-tongue?
The split-tongue was originally engineered to stop the tongue from sliding to the side during motion, providing a more secure and comfortable fit.
How often should I clean the leather?
Depending on usage, a light wipe-down after every few wears is recommended to prevent dirt buildup in the leather pores.
Troubleshooting
Tongue feels uncomfortable or uneven
The split-tongue design is intended to separate; ensure both sides are pulled outward evenly across the bridge of the foot when lacing.
Leather looks dull after repeated wear
Apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for sneakers to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when the sneakers are not being worn to help retain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature leather components, you should avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. To maintain the appearance, wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth after use to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to take full advantage of the split-tongue system. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
