FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-Kayano 20 was originally a high-performance distance running shoe, this version is primarily marketed for casual, everyday lifestyle wear.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is durable, but it is not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in wet conditions.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
ASICS sizes typically follow standard UK adult sizing. If you have worn ASICS in the past, your usual size is a reliable starting point.
What is the primary benefit of the Guidance Trusstic system?
It provides midfoot stability, helping to maintain a consistent arch and preventing the shoe from twisting during movement.
Can I replace the original insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a lightly dampened cloth to buff out surface marks.
Uncomfortable fit after long wear
Ensure your laces are adjusted evenly to distribute pressure across the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 20 trainers, proper care is essential, especially given the leather upper. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesive and damage the leather finish. Instead, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture from the inside while allowing them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
