Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Gaviota 6 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: The internal lacing system allows for a customizable fit; ensure the laces are snug across the midfoot but not tight enough to restrict circulation.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, allow for 10-20 miles of walking or short runs to let the midsole foam adapt to your specific foot pressure.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not submerge or machine wash, as this can damage the foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the outsole rubber and foam midsole from degrading.
- Replacement: Plan to replace your trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and individual wear pattern.
