FAQs
Is the GEL-Kayano 20 good for running?
While originally designed for long-distance running, this specific lifestyle release is best suited for everyday walking and casual wear due to its construction.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size, ensuring there is a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the structural support systems of the shoe.
What is the GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system?
It is a support component that provides midfoot structural integrity, helping to guide the foot through a more efficient gait cycle.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather provides more protection than mesh, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant for added resistance.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows water spots or light dirt
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly dampened cloth and allow to air dry away from heat sources.
Feel is too tight around the midfoot
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets to allow for a more anatomical fit across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your GEL-Kayano 20s, proper care is essential, especially given the leather components. Before the first wear, consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the leather surface with a damp, soft cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather and damage the structural adhesives. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring. If the footbed becomes damp, remove the liner and allow it to air dry naturally.
