Gel-Kayano 32 delivers plush cushioning and adaptive support for long-distance comfort

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I keep going back to the Gel-Kayano line for one reason—support that never feels clunky. The 32s are softer than ever underfoot, and the 4D Guidance System adds just the right stability without feeling overbuilt. Great for high-mileage training or recovery days."


We chase comfort and consistency in every stride, and the ASICS Gel-Kayano 32 Running Shoe is built to deliver exactly that. This evolution of ASICS' flagship stability shoe uses their softest underfoot feel yet—thanks to FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning and an updated PureGEL™ system—to give us a smoother, more responsive ride through every mile.


Engineered for distance runners who demand both comfort and structure, the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ dynamically adjusts to load and movement, offering stability without rigidity. A breathable mesh upper reduces bulk and overlays, while the OrthoLite™ X-55 sockliner enhances comfort and moisture control. From long training runs to recovery jogs, the Gel-Kayano 32 gives us a balanced, supported stride we can count on.

Customer Images

Here's what customers have to say

The shoe provides good comfort, support, and durability for many users. However, some customers have found the latest version to be less supportive and comfortable compared to previous models, with issues like a smaller toe box, reduced arch support, and problems with the heel design. While generally a solid running shoe, the changes made in this iteration have not been universally well-received, so shoppers should carefully consider their individual needs.

Like walking on a cloud

I originally ordered these because I developed plantar fasciitis . I have worn asics for years but my first pair of gel kayano. They have helped my plantar fasciitis immensely. Just wish they were cheaper.

Comfort

I bought this for my 71 year old mom with heel and sciatic pain. She uses these all day And her pain is significantly reduced. Highly recommend.

Heal drop change causes pain

I purchased the 32’2 in September and tried to wear them for walking. Unfortunately they are so painful I threw them away. The 30’s fit great out of the box. I believe the change to the heal drop is a problem from my foot. Yes, I have flat feet and issue to my feet but the past versions were great. I didn’t like the higher cuff on the 31 but you eliminated that on the 32. Changing the heal drop will make me look for a different shoe. I LOVED everything about the 30!

What happen to the midsole?

I’ve been Kayano fan for more than 20 years. I gave 4 stars because I bought the Kayano 32 but I felt that it was not comfortable like my previous Kayano 29. My feet got tired easily. I noticed that the midsole has different material compared to my previous one. So I put my old midsole in the new shoe and worked much better. For the others features no complaints.

BUY THE SHOES!!

These are the most comfortable shoes ever and my back/knees/legs never ache after being on them for 12 hours a day as a healthcare professional. ASICS has never let me down. I also tend to overpronate and these work so well with correcting it. These shoes do squeak sometimes, but I could care less with how well these work for me. I love these shoes!!!

Tongue that hits into ankle

The tongue presses directly into my ankle, which quickly caused a blister and eventually led to swelling. I initially thought it would improve as I broke them in, but the problem only got worse. I have been an ASICS Kayano user for many years and have always found them reliable and comfortable, but this design is unusually uncomfortable and painful. I hope ASICS reconsiders it in future versions.

Sturdy, comfortable shoe

These shoes have excellent support and comfort. I have been wearing them for my cycling workouts as well as weight lifting and pickleball they’re wonderful. My only complaint is how squeaky they are lol. But if that’s the price for an excellent shoe, I’ll take it.
