FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 suitable for pronation?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 28 is specifically designed to offer stability and support for runners who overpronate.
Can I wear these for walking or gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, their comfort and support make them suitable for walking and general gym activities. However, for sport-specific training, specialized footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Ensure the heel does not slip and the midfoot feels snug but not constricting.
What is the difference between the Gel-Kayano 28 and other ASICS models?
The Gel-Kayano series is ASICS's premium stability running shoe, known for maximum cushioning and support. Other models may focus more on neutral cushioning, lightweight performance, or trail running.
How long should I expect these trainers to last?
For optimal performance and support, running shoes like the Gel-Kayano 28 are typically recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of running, or when signs of wear are apparent.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are not suitable for running in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on and then tied to the desired comfort level. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if break-in is needed.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Check for any visible damage to the sole. Consider replacing the shoes if they have significant mileage.
Slipping during runs
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and require replacement of the shoes.
Discomfort in the arch area
This could be due to the shoe's support system or an incorrect fit. Ensure you are using the correct size and consider if the built-in support is suitable for your foot type. Consult a running specialist if discomfort persists.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 28 trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and dust from the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Laundering: Do not machine wash or machine dry the trainers, as this can compromise the cushioning and structural integrity.
