Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your ASICS Gel-Kayano 28, start by ensuring you have the correct size and width to prevent rubbing or slipping during exercise. For the initial break-in period, wear the trainers for short walks before transitioning to full running workouts to allow the midsole foam to adapt to your foot shape. Regarding care, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can break down the adhesives and foam properties. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove the sockliner after wet runs and let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the materials.
