FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?
While designed for stability, many runners with neutral mechanics enjoy the Gel-Kayano for long, fatiguing runs where extra support is beneficial.
Can I use these for speed work?
They are primarily designed for endurance and stability. While capable, lighter models may be preferred for high-intensity interval sessions.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, these shoes provide optimal cushioning and support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on surface and runner weight.
Is the sizing true to size?
Yes, ASICS typically follows standard athletic sizing. It is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front.
Are they waterproof?
The standard Gel-Kayano 32 upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while running
Try a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle collar against the heel.
Midsole foam feels stiff
The foam may need a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to fully adapt to your foot strike patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, lace the shoes snugly to engage the adaptive support system, but avoid over-tightening which can restrict blood flow during swelling at high mileages. For care, keep the white mesh uppers clean by wiping them with a damp cloth and mild soap after muddy runs. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the GEL units and adhesive integrity. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent foam degradation. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air-dry naturally.
