Full details
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking superior comfort and support. Their key benefit is exceptional shock absorption through advanced GEL technology, making them ideal for daily runs. A potential caveat is that they are primarily designed for running, so may offer more support than desired for casual walking.

FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 28 is designed with advanced cushioning and support, making it well-suited for marathon distances and other long-distance running events.
Can I wear these trainers for gym workouts?
While the Gel-Kayano 28 can be used for light gym activities, their primary design is for running. For training that involves lateral movements or heavy lifting, a dedicated cross-training shoe might offer better stability and support.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Kayano 28 and other ASICS trainers?
The Gel-Kayano series is known for its premium cushioning and stability features, making it a top choice for runners needing support, particularly those who overpronate. Other models might focus more on lightweight speed or neutral cushioning.
How long should I expect these shoes to last?
With proper care and for their intended use (running), the Gel-Kayano 28 typically lasts between 300-500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, intensity, and individual running form.
Is the Grey/Yellow colour combination available in other sizes?
This specific guide is for the UK 9 size in Grey/Yellow. The Gel-Kayano 28 series is available in various colours and sizes, which may include other Grey/Yellow options or different colour combinations in your preferred size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, break them in gradually over several runs. Loosen the laces before putting them on and re-tighten to your comfort level.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The GEL technology is designed for durability, but prolonged high-intensity use can eventually diminish its impact absorption. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of running, or if you notice a significant decrease in cushioning.
Leather upper creasing excessively
Some creasing is normal with leather. To minimize it, avoid folding the shoes sharply when storing and ensure proper lacing during wear. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (e.g., UK 9 for this variant) for optimal fit and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or jog initially to allow your feet to adapt to the fit and support.
Compatibility:
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 is designed primarily for running. While they can be worn for general athletic activities, their specific support features are optimized for the biomechanics of running. They are suitable for adult male runners across various fitness levels.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
