FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for intense daily running?
While based on a high-performance distance shoe from 2013, the leather construction is optimized for lifestyle use. They provide great support, but modern technical runners may prefer lighter, more breathable synthetic options.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary, and always let them air dry naturally.
What is the GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system?
It is a support piece located in the midfoot that enhances stability and improves gait efficiency by preventing the shoe from twisting.
Does the sizing run true?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 20 generally fits true to UK standard sizing. The structured build provides a snug, secure fit.
Are these water-resistant?
The leather upper provides some natural resistance, but they are not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the leather and the integrity of the adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuffs or scratches
Use a matching neutral or beige leather conditioner to buff out surface marks and restore moisture to the material.
Shoes feel tight after long periods of wear
Feet naturally swell during the day; ensure laces are adjusted to accommodate expansion without restricting circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature leather materials, they require proper maintenance to preserve their finish. To clean them, avoid soaking the leather; instead, use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner to wipe away dust and debris. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen. Ensure you select the correct UK adult size, as the structured nature of the Gel-Kayano 20 provides a secure, locked-in fit that is less forgiving than flexible knit alternatives.
