FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The GEL-KAYANO 20 features a FLUIDFIT cage for an adaptive fit. While it offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them best suited if a wider fit option is available or after a sufficient break-in period.
Can I use these for marathon running?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 is designed with structural cushioning and stability features that make it suitable for marathon running and long-distance training, providing support and comfort over extended periods.
What is the difference between GEL-KAYANO and other ASICS models?
The GEL-KAYANO series is ASICS' premier stability running shoe, offering a high level of support and cushioning for overpronators, whereas other models might focus more on neutral cushioning or minimalist designs.
How do I know if the GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system is working?
You'll notice enhanced stability and a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off. The system helps guide your foot through a more neutral gait cycle, reducing excessive inward rolling.
Can these trainers be worn for gym workouts?
Yes, while optimized for running, their stability and cushioning make them suitable for various gym activities. However, for very specific training like heavy weightlifting, a flatter, more rigid shoe might be preferred.
What is the expected lifespan of the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20?
For running, the typical lifespan is between 300-500 miles, depending on your gait, running surface, and body weight. For casual wear, they can last considerably longer if properly cared for.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wearing them for short durations initially can help them adapt to your foot.
Soles feel slippery
New rubber soles can sometimes have a smooth coating. Wear them on varied surfaces to naturally scuff the sole. Ensure the ground surface is dry, as rubber soles can be less effective on wet surfaces.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While the GEL inserts are durable, their cushioning properties can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing your trainers if they have seen significant mileage (typically over 300-500 miles for running).
