Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Gel Kayano 33 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks or 3-mile jogs for the first few days to allow the foam to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Never machine wash or machine dry, as this can break down the adhesives and foam properties.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the upper mesh.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the rubber compounds from degrading prematurely.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate with another pair of shoes to allow the midsole foam to fully decompress between runs.
