To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers, follow these care guidelines:
Spot Cleaning: For dirt or scuffs, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas.
Material-Specific Care:
Textile Areas: Use a gentle fabric cleaner or mild detergent solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the material.
Synthetic Leather: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a small amount of leather cleaner designed for synthetics can be used.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause materials to warp or crack.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb odors.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the internal structure and materials.
Regular Cleaning: Clean your shoes regularly to prevent dirt buildup, especially for white footwear, to maintain their pristine appearance.
