FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arch feet?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 32 provides excellent support, though users with very high arches may consider swapping the standard insole for one with more targeted arch support.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand wash these shoes to preserve the integrity of the GEL cushioning and the adhesive bonds.
Is the sizing true to size?
ASICS generally run true to standard athletic sizing, but it is recommended to allow for a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box.
What is the primary difference between this and the Dynablast series?
The Gel-Kayano series focuses on maximal stability and support for overpronation, whereas the Dynablast is typically designed for a more responsive, energetic feel.
How often should I replace these trainers?
For active users, it is recommended to replace the trainers every 300-500 miles, or sooner if the cushioning foam feels flattened or the outsole treads are worn smooth.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
New trainers often require a break-in period of 30-50 miles to allow the foam to adapt to your foot's unique pressure points.
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing technique, such as using a runner's loop or 'heel lock' method, to secure the ankle more firmly.
Build-up of odors
Remove the insoles after use to allow the shoe to breathe. Use moisture-absorbing charcoal bags or foot powder to manage internal dampness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kayano 32 trainers maintain their performance, proper care is essential. Upon first use, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure fit without restricting circulation.
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the materials from warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in a hot car, which can compromise the structural integrity of the foam.
- Compatibility: These trainers are highly compatible with generic orthotic inserts if your podiatrist recommends additional customization.
