Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Gel-Kayano 33 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitment: Always wear the specific running socks you plan to use during exercise when trying on the shoes to ensure proper volume and length.
- Break-in: While these shoes feel comfortable immediately, a few short 3-5 mile runs will allow the foam to settle and the upper to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand-clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal foam properties and structural integrity.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded place. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this may warp the midsole materials.
