FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The Gel-Kayano 28 series is known for its support and cushioning, making it suitable for long-distance running, including marathons. However, personal preference and foot type play a significant role in shoe suitability.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes.
What is the primary difference between this and previous Gel-Kayano models?
Each Gel-Kayano model typically features updated cushioning technologies, midsole foams, and upper designs for improved comfort, stability, and performance. Specific updates for the 28 model often focus on enhanced shock absorption and a smoother transition.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Performance athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials like polyester blends or merino wool are recommended for comfort and to help manage sweat.
Do these trainers offer good ankle support?
The Gel-Kayano 28 provides excellent overall foot support, including a well-structured heel counter which contributes to ankle stability. However, they are not high-top shoes and do not offer specific ankle bracing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct UK size. If slightly tight, wear them with thinner socks initially and allow for a brief break-in period. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for long-term use, but performance can degrade with excessive wear or exposure to extreme conditions. Ensure proper care and avoid using them for activities they are not designed for.
Leather surface scuffs or marks
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for athletic footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for athletic activities like running and training, and for casual wear. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather and cushioning.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
