FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally designed as performance distance shoes in 2013, they are now marketed primarily as lifestyle trainers. They provide excellent support for walking and daily activities.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. The leather construction and technical components like the Trusstic system can be damaged by machine washing. Hand-cleaning is recommended.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions. If you prefer a looser fit, consider checking the fit of your previous ASICS models.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, providing both durability and a structured appearance.
Where does the design inspiration come from?
The aesthetic is influenced by architectural structures, specifically buildings and cars, giving the shoe a technical and utilitarian look.
Is the GEL technology replaceable?
No, the GEL technology is integrated into the midsole unit and is not designed to be removed or replaced.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs or surface marks
Gently clean with a dedicated leather conditioner or a mild soap solution and a soft microfiber cloth.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Ensure the shoe is not being worn on extreme terrain and allow the GEL inserts 24 hours of recovery time between intensive usage.
Tight fit around the instep
Adjust the lacing system to provide more volume across the midfoot, as the leather upper may take time to adapt to your foot width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 20 trainers maintain their appearance and functionality, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes fit standard adult sizing; ensure you select the appropriate UK size for your specific fit needs.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the leather upper will soften and contour to your foot shape after a few days of regular use.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Since the upper is leather, avoid submerging them in water. Use a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for surface marks.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
