FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, while the leather construction offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While originally designed for distance in 2013, modern performance runners typically use lighter, mesh-based materials. These are best suited for lifestyle and everyday comfort.
Do these come in other sizes?
Yes, the GEL-Kayano 20 is available in a variety of adult UK sizes ranging from 4 to 11.5.
How do I maintain the leather?
Wipe down with a damp cloth and use leather-specific cleaning products or conditioners to keep the material from drying out.
What is the primary benefit of the TRUSSTIC system?
It provides structural integrity to the midfoot, helping to prevent the shoe from twisting unnecessarily during movement.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after exposure to rain
Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then apply a leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Sensation of the fit being too snug
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry; since this is a structured trainer, the fit is designed to be secure rather than loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather footwear can feel stiff initially; wear them for short durations indoors before full-day outdoor use.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather surfaces. For deeper cleans, utilize a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the material finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. Use cedar shoe trees if available to help maintain the architectural shape.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard adult sizes; verify your UK sizing before purchase as the structured design has a locked-in fit.
