FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 30 suitable for beginners?
Yes, they are suitable for beginners, especially those who may need or benefit from added stability and comfort during their runs.
How often should I replace my Gel-Kayano 30 trainers?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structure of the shoe. Hand wash with mild soap and water, and air dry.

Each new Gel-Kayano model typically features updated cushioning technologies, improved stability systems, and refined upper materials for enhanced performance and comfort.
Are these shoes good for pronation control?

What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing duration. Consider using thicker socks for a slightly snugger feel or ensuring laces are not overtightened.
Reduced cushioning over time
Cushioning performance can decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not past their recommended lifespan (typically 300-500 miles). Clean the shoes as per care instructions.
Slipping during runs
Check that the laces are tied securely and that the shoe fits correctly. Ensure the running surface is dry, as the tread is designed for road conditions.
