Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 33s, keep the following in mind:
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to standard adult running sizes; ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front for toe splay.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 20–30 miles of wear for the midsole foam to fully adapt to your unique foot strike.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and mild detergent. Remove the OrthoLite sockliner and wash separately.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the performance foam materials.
- Rotation: For optimal durability, avoid wearing them on consecutive days to allow the foam compression to reset fully.
