FAQs
Is the Gel-Kayano 32 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the model is specifically designed with stability features that benefit runners with flat feet or overpronation.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and foam integrity. Clean by hand with a soft brush and mild soap.
What is the best way to determine if I need a replacement pair?
Look for visible signs of compression in the midsole or uneven wear on the outsole tread that affects your natural gait.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The upper is made of breathable mesh, which is not waterproof. They are intended for standard road running conditions.
Does this model come in different widths?
ASICS offers various width options across the Gel-Kayano line; check individual retailer inventory for availability.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during runs
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the heel more firmly in the collar.
Excessive moisture accumulation
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than cotton, which traps perspiration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure your Gel-Kayano 32 is properly laced to secure the midfoot without restricting blood flow. To maintain the structural integrity of the cushioning, avoid storing the shoes in extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods. If the shoes become wet, remove the sockliner and stuff the interior with dry paper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry slowly; never use a tumble dryer. Replace the shoes every 400 to 500 miles to ensure the cushioning and stability features remain effective.
