FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 suitable for people with flat feet?
The GEL-KAYANO series is generally known for its stability features, including the GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system, which can be beneficial for individuals with flat feet or mild to moderate overpronation. However, it's always recommended to consult with a footwear specialist for personalized advice.
How do I clean my GEL-KAYANO 20 trainers?
Clean the exterior using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Remove excess dirt from the sole and upper. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the main difference between the GEL-KAYANO series and other ASICS trainers?
The GEL-KAYANO series is ASICS' flagship stability shoe, designed to provide maximum support and cushioning for overpronators and runners who need enhanced guidance. Other ASICS lines may focus more on neutral cushioning, lightweight design, or speed.
Can I use these trainers for marathon running?
Yes, the GEL-KAYANO 20 trainers are built for long-distance comfort and support, making them suitable for marathon training and racing for runners who benefit from stability features.
What does 'FLUIDFIT' mean in the context of these shoes?
FLUIDFIT refers to ASICS' technology that combines multi-directional stretch mesh with stretchy synthetic materials. This creates a glove-like fit that adapts to the wearer's foot, providing a personalized and secure feel.
How long can I expect the cushioning to last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on factors like frequency of use, running surface, and individual biomechanics. For regular runners, the advanced cushioning systems are typically designed to provide effective support for several hundred miles before significant compression occurs.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for ventilation, which means they will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit or pressure points
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with the intended type of socks. Some users may need a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support structure is appropriate for your foot type.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity, but like all cushioning, it will eventually compress. If you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption after extensive use, it may be time to consider replacement. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Slipping during activity
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If the traction seems diminished, the sole may be worn down and require replacement. Check that the laces are tied securely to prevent foot movement within the shoe.
Poor ventilation or overheating
Ensure the synthetic fiber upper is not clogged with dirt. Try wearing moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, and the shoe has been heavily used, the breathability may be reduced due to material wear.
