FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 28?
The GEL-KAYANO 28 is primarily designed for running, especially for those who need stability and cushioning. They are also suitable for everyday wear and other athletic activities.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
While the standard fit is designed for typical adult male feet, ASICS often offers wider fittings (e.g., 2E, 4E). Please check the specific product listing for width options. This guide refers to a standard fit in UK 10.5.
How do I clean the yellow accents?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Gently wipe the yellow areas and then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
What is the warranty period for ASICS trainers?
ASICS typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official ASICS warranty information or the retailer's policy for specific details, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers. This can damage the leather, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
How do I know if I need a stability shoe like the GEL-KAYANO 28?
Stability shoes are generally recommended for individuals who overpronate, meaning their foot rolls inward excessively during walking or running. Observing wear patterns on old shoes or consulting a running specialist can help determine if you need a stability shoe.
What does 'Sheet Rock Hazard Green' refer to?
This refers to the colourway of the trainers. 'Sheet Rock' is the primary grey colour, and 'Hazard Green' (or in this case, Yellow accents) is the secondary accent colour.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists in specific areas.
Yellowing of sole or accents
This can be a natural effect of material aging and UV exposure. Clean with appropriate leather cleaner. If significant, it may indicate the end of the product's optimal lifespan for intensive use.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning may compress with extensive use. For continued high-performance needs, consider replacing the trainers after 300-500 miles of running or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Leather scuffs or marks
Use a leather conditioner and cleaner to address minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be considered.
