FAQs
Is the Gel-Kayano 32 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, its stability-focused design is excellent for flat-footed runners who need arch support.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are primarily designed for running, their stability makes them suitable for moderate gym use, though they are not ideal for heavy powerlifting.
How long do these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Kayano 32 are designed to last between 300 and 500 miles depending on usage and body weight.
Does this shoe provide neutral support?
It provides stability support. If you are a purely neutral runner who does not need correction, you may prefer a neutral-cushioning model.
Are they waterproof?

What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Remove the insole, stuff with newspaper, and let them air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as the window lacing technique, to relieve pressure on the bridge.
Outer sole wearing down quickly
Check your running form for excessive dragging or consider if you are using the shoe on abrasive non-road surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 32 trainers, proper care is essential.
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short, 20-minute walks before attempting long runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using a soft brush and mild soap. Never machine wash or machine dry, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive bonding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the upper mesh to become brittle.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the Gel units and foam to decompress fully between sessions.
