| Cons | Not for fast running · About 300–310 g, may feel heavy for lighter runners · Not recommended at retail price | Durability doubts for runners over 90 kg · About 20% less structure than the Kayano 32 · Too soft for severe overpronators who dislike soft foam · Not for wide feet in the standard width · Expensive at ₹17,000 |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you want a shoe for faster running, or if you are a light runner who will find its weight a burden. | Avoid it if you are over 90 kg with flat feet, or overpronate heavily and dislike soft foam; the Kayano 32 suits you better. |
