FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL-KAYANO 20?
The main benefit is its structural cushioning and stability, particularly beneficial for long-distance running and overpronation support.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, the combination of comfort, support, and distinctive design makes them suitable for casual wear.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing.
What does the FLUIDFIT Cage do?
The FLUIDFIT cage is designed to work with the lacing system to create a snug, adaptive, and personalized fit around the midfoot.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are best suited for road running and general surfaces. The outsole may not provide sufficient grip or durability for technical trail running.
What is the purpose of the GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC Support System?
This system enhances midfoot structural integrity and stability, helping to guide the foot through a more efficient gait cycle and preventing excessive inward rolling (pronation).
What is the primary material for the overlays?
The overlays are made of leather, contributing to the shoe's durability and providing a structured fit.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear.
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Adjust the lacing to ease pressure points. The FLUIDFIT cage will adapt over time.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The GEL™ cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and the midsole is not damaged. Consider replacing them if significant wear is evident.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces.
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded debris. While designed for good traction, performance on very wet, slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Discoloration on leather overlays.
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing or storing. Apply a leather conditioner suitable for athletic footwear if needed, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (UK 6 in this instance) for optimal comfort and performance. The lacing system allows for adjustment to achieve a personalized fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Designed for running and general athletic activities. The rubber outsole provides compatibility with a variety of surfaces, including roads, tracks, and paved paths. Not specifically designed for trail running due to tread pattern.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and mesh surfaces. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: Ensure shoes are dry before storing. Consider using deodorizing inserts if necessary.
