To extend the life of your Gel-Cumulus 26 shoes, follow these care tips:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt using a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with lukewarm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Lightly scrub the affected areas.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove insoles and laces, and stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your running shoes, as this can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials.
