Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try loosening the laces and re-lacing them to distribute pressure more evenly. If still uncomfortable, consider a professional fitting or an alternative size.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that might impede performance. For significant degradation, it may be time to consider replacement.
Slipping during runs
Check the outsole for excessive wear. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may reduce grip. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads/tracks) as intended for this shoe model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Gel-Kayano 30 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and everyday training. They are most compatible with runners who have a neutral to overpronating gait.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
