To maintain the appearance and longevity of your GEL-KAYANO 14 shoes:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the synthetic leather and textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt on the rubber outsole, a soft brush can be used.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as this can severely damage the structure and materials.
