Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'heel lock' or 'runner's loop' to allow for more volume in the midfoot.
Inner lining wearing out prematurely
Ensure the shoe is fully unlaced before putting them on or taking them off to prevent heel friction.
Slippage on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for mud or debris buildup; clean the treads thoroughly to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm your UK size, as the Gel-Kayano 32 fits true to standard athletic sizing. For care, keep these shoes away from high-heat sources like tumble dryers, which can degrade the cushioning foam. If they become wet, remove the internal liners and air dry them naturally in a well-ventilated space. To clean the exterior, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to gently remove road debris and dust from the upper mesh.
