FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for racing?
While they offer excellent cushioning and responsiveness, the Gel-Kayano 32 is primarily designed for training and long-distance running due to its focus on stability and support. For pure speed events, a lighter racing shoe might be more appropriate.
What is the difference between neutral and overpronation support?
Neutral shoes offer balanced cushioning. Overpronation support helps to gently correct the inward rolling of the foot during the gait cycle, promoting a more stable stride. The 4D Guidance System in these trainers adapts to provide support for both.
How do I know if I have overpronation?
Overpronation is when your foot rolls inward excessively after landing. This can often be identified by wear patterns on the inside edge of your old shoes or by observing your foot's arch during a run. Consulting a running specialist can provide a definitive assessment.
Can these shoes be used for gym workouts?
While the cushioning is versatile, the Gel-Kayano 32 is optimized for running. For activities requiring lateral stability, such as cross-training or weightlifting, a dedicated cross-training shoe is recommended.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use for running, the Gel-Kayano 32 trainers typically last between 300-500 miles. Lifespan can vary based on running surface, gait, and maintenance.
How should I clean the reflective details?
Clean the reflective details gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the reflective coating.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are not over-tightened. The sock-like cuff and internal structure may require a brief break-in period.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The ASICSGRIP outsole is designed for general traction; ensure the tread is clear of debris. For extremely slick conditions, exercise caution.
Cushioning feels unresponsive
Verify the shoes are appropriate for your running gait. If you are a neutral or overpronator, the cushioning should adapt over a few runs. Clean the shoes if dirt is affecting performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To maintain their performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably not compressed. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Break-in Period: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period of a few miles is recommended to allow the cushioning to adapt fully to your foot.
