Full details

FAQs
Is the Gel-Kayano 32 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, this shoe is specifically designed for overpronators, a condition often associated with flat feet, by providing necessary arch support.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While the cushioning is excellent for running and walking, they are optimized for forward motion; for lateral training, a more stable cross-trainer might be preferred.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Kayano 32 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability, meaning it will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle.
What is the primary benefit of the FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam?
It provides a softer, more responsive cushioning experience while using sustainable materials to reduce the environmental footprint.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve tension across the bridge of the foot.
Foot slipping or heel lifting
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique using the final eyelet to secure the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kayano 32 shoes last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter walking sessions before committing to a full long-distance run.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a mild detergent and cold water. Never place running shoes in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the GEL and foam midsoles.
- Air Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of synthetic materials and to keep the mesh upper free from mildew.
