FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the ASICS Gel-Kayano 20?
The primary purpose is to provide structural cushioning and stability, making them ideal for longer running distances and everyday comfort.
How does the Fluidfit cage benefit the wearer?
The Fluidfit cage provides a secure, glove-like fit by adapting to the foot's shape and offering targeted support in key areas.
Are these shoes suitable for pronation?
The Gel-Kayano series is known for its stability features, including the Guidance Trusstic System, which typically helps to control pronation.
What inspired the design of the Gel-Kayano 20?
The design draws inspiration from architectural structures and vehicles, creating a technical and functional aesthetic.
Can these trainers be used for cross-training?
While they offer good cushioning and support for running, their stability-focused design might be less ideal for highly dynamic cross-training activities compared to dedicated cross-training shoes.
How do I clean the upper material?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.
What is the difference between this and newer Gel-Kayano models?
Newer models typically feature updated cushioning technologies, lighter materials, and revised geometry for improved performance and comfort compared to the 2013 design.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
This can be normal as the shoes break in. Ensure you have the correct size and wear appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider a different lacing technique or consult a shoe fitting specialist.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL technology and midsole foam can compress with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of running or when noticeable wear is observed.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for performance, the outsole grip may vary on exceptionally slick surfaces. Exercise caution when running or walking in wet conditions.
