Troubleshooting
Feeling of heel slippage
Re-tie the laces using the extra eyelet at the top to create a runner's loop, which secures the heel more firmly.
Exterior mesh getting dirty
Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently scrub the mesh, then let it air dry completely.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for embedded rocks or pebbles that can reduce surface contact; remove debris to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 33 trainers, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. After running in wet conditions, remove the sockliner and allow the shoes to air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not machine wash or tumble dry. Ensure your foot size is accurately measured, as the technical design of these trainers relies on a precise fit to provide adequate arch and heel support.
