Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Excite 11 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: While these shoes feel comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks before undertaking long-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can degrade the cushioning integrity.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place them near radiators, heaters, or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can warp the engineered mesh and damage the foam midsole.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent odor buildup and maintain the structure of the heel counter.
