FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arch feet?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano series is known for its supportive structure, which can accommodate various arch types.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. Washing machines can damage the leather material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods only.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather offers more protection against the elements than mesh, these are not officially rated as waterproof. Avoid heavy exposure to rain.
How long should these trainers last?
Depending on usage frequency and surface conditions, most performance trainers of this caliber last between 300 to 500 miles.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit according to standard sizing. If you prefer extra room for thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the first few wears
The leather upper may need a break-in period. Try wearing the shoes for shorter durations until the material softens.
Accumulated dirt on the leather surface
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let air dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened properly, potentially using the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 29 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods around the house before attempting long-distance runs to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove loose dirt from the leather surface. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a damp cloth; avoid total submersion in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the leather to stiffen or crack.
- Insole Maintenance: If you use custom orthotics, remove the factory-provided sock liner before inserting your own.
