FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 trainers are designed primarily for comfort and stability in everyday wear and lighter activities. For marathon running, it's recommended to consult ASICS' range of dedicated running shoes, which offer specialized features for high-impact performance.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL inserts?
The GEL inserts are located in the midsole and are designed to provide excellent shock absorption, cushioning your step and reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.
How does the FLUIDFIT cage support the foot?
The FLUIDFIT cage is integrated into the upper to offer targeted structure and support to the midfoot area, helping to secure your foot and enhance stability.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 trainers. The best method for cleaning is by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap, then allowing them to air dry.
What does the GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system do?
The GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC support system is designed to provide midfoot integrity and stability by controlling torsion and supporting the arch of the foot, contributing to a more stable stride.
Is the sizing true to the UK size listed?
While sizing can vary slightly between models and brands, the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 generally follows standard UK sizing. However, some users report a potentially narrower fit, so trying them on or consulting a size guide is advisable.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to trapped moisture between layers or friction. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole might help.
Reduced cushioning feel
The GEL inserts may take some time to break in. If the shoes have been worn extensively and cushioning feels diminished, check for any damage to the midsole or consider if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal performance.
Poor grip on surfaces
Ensure the rubber tread is clean. Remove any mud, dirt, or pebbles lodged in the sole pattern. For very smooth or wet surfaces, traction may naturally be reduced.
