Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14:
Spot Cleaning: For light dirt or marks, use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains on the textile and synthetic leather upper, mix a small amount of mild soap with water. Gently rub the affected area with the soapy cloth, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Air Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause cracking or deformation.
Odor Control: To prevent odor buildup, allow the shoes to air out after each wear. Removable insoles can be taken out and aired separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.
Protection: For added protection against water and stains, especially on the textile areas, you can apply a suitable sneaker protector spray designed for mixed materials. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
