Full details

FAQs
Is the Gel-Kayano 32 good for neutral runners?
While primarily designed for overpronators, many neutral runners appreciate the extra stability and support during long, fatiguing training runs.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 300 grams, which is standard for a high-cushion stability trainer.
Does this shoe come in different widths?
This model is designed as a standard width; please refer to the specific size and fit guide for your region.
How long do these shoes typically last?
Depending on running surface and intensity, you can typically expect 500-800 kilometers of optimal support and cushioning.
Can I use custom orthotics with these?
Yes, the sockliner is removable to accommodate most custom-made orthotics if needed.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the upper is made of a breathable engineered mesh meant for maximum airflow and is not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the heel cup more firmly to your ankle.
Feeling discomfort at the arch
Ensure your socks are not bunched up and verify that the insole is lying completely flat. The 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM is meant to support the arch, but it should never cause sharp pain.
Outsole wearing down prematurely
Check your running form for excessive dragging. If wearing occurs in one specific area, consider if your gait has changed due to fatigue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 32s, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter 3-5km runs for the first few sessions to allow the upper mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Surface Compatibility: Designed exclusively for road and hard-surface use. Avoid technical trails or muddy paths, as the outsole pattern is optimized for traction on pavement.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Never put them in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the GEL units and foam structural integrity.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent premature hardening of the foam materials.
