Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the cushioning and stability features of the Gel-Kayano 33 make them excellent for walking and standing for extended periods.
How long do these trainers typically last?
Depending on running surface and intensity, you can generally expect between 300 to 500 miles of support before the cushioning begins to compress.
Are these neutral or stability shoes?
The Gel-Kayano series is primarily categorized as a stability shoe, designed to support runners who need extra guidance during their gait cycle.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the sockliner in these trainers is removable, allowing you to insert most custom or over-the-counter orthotics.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
You should have about a half-inch of space in the toe box. Since feet tend to swell during runs, it is often best to try them on in the afternoon.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points during the first few runs
The shoe may need a break-in period. Try adjusting your lacing style to alleviate pressure and ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks.
Slippage in the heel area
Use the extra top eyelet on the trainer to perform a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 33 trainers last as long as possible, remove loose dirt after each run using a soft brush. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives. When fitting, ensure your heel is secure in the cup and that there is a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. To maintain the structural integrity of the midsole, rotate your shoes if you run daily, allowing the foam 24 hours to recover its shape between uses.
