FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 suitable for beginners?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 are excellent for beginners, especially those who may overpronate, as they offer significant support and cushioning to help with proper form and reduce injury risk.
How do I know if I need a stability shoe like the Gel-Kayano 28?
If your foot rolls inward excessively (overpronation) after landing, or if you experience arch pain or shin splints, a stability shoe like the Gel-Kayano 28 could be beneficial. A gait analysis at a running store can help determine your foot type.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Kayano 28 and neutral running shoes?
The Gel-Kayano 28 is a stability shoe designed to correct overpronation. Neutral shoes are designed for runners with a neutral or supinated gait and lack the specific stabilizing features found in the Gel-Kayano.
How long do ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 trainers typically last?
With regular use, typically 3-5 times a week for running, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 can last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, intensity, and individual gait.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts?
While the cushioning is excellent for running, the Gel-Kayano 28 is primarily designed for the forward motion of running. For gym workouts involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, a more versatile training shoe might be preferable.
Are there other color options available for the Gel-Kayano 28?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 28 series is available in various colorways. This guide focuses on the 'Sheet Rock Hazard Green' model (UK size 8), but other colors and sizes exist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them looser or consider wearing thinner socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after some use
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but performance can be affected by excessive wear or extreme conditions. Inspect the sole for significant wear and tear. For consistent performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles of use.
Discomfort in the arch
The Gel-Kayano 28 offers significant support. If you experience arch discomfort, it may indicate you do not require this level of support, or the shoe might need a longer break-in period. Consult a running specialist if problems persist.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male runners. These are best suited for road running and general training. They are compatible with most running surfaces.
Care:
