Maintaining your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers will prolong their life and appearance:
Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the layered leather and mesh upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) and a soft brush or old toothbrush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) to remove dirt, mud, and small debris from the robust rubber outsole. This also helps maintain optimal traction.
Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and let them air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out), or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled newspaper can help maintain their shape.
