FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Gel-Kayano 20 is optimized for road and paved surfaces. While it offers great stability, it lacks the aggressive lug depth required for technical trail terrain.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace performance running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Can I remove the insoles to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making them compatible with most third-party orthotic inserts.
Are these true to size?
The ASICS sizing for the UK 6.5 is standard, but we recommend measuring your foot with socks on to ensure the best fit.
Does this model provide arch support?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano series is widely recognized for its integrated stability features that provide ample arch support.
How do I best clean the blue and black fabric?
Spot clean with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can affect the color integrity.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during long runs
Adjust the lacing pattern to a runner's loop or skip the eyelets causing tension.
Insole slipping during movement
Remove the insole, clean the cavity of any debris, and ensure it is placed flat before inserting.
Exterior marks on the mesh
Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to dab the area; avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent fabric fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Gel-Kayano 20s, ensure the lacing system is adjusted to your foot's width to allow for natural swelling during runs. Always store your trainers in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture slowly. Avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to spot-clean the exterior mesh and synthetic overlays.
