Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and textile upper, use a soft brush or cloth moistened with mild soap and water. Gently scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or soft brush to clean the rubber outsole. Remove any trapped dirt or pebbles from the treads.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and structural integrity.
