FAQs

What is the GEL technology?

GEL technology is a cushioning system used by ASICS to absorb shock during impact, enhancing comfort and reducing the risk of injury.

How long will the cushioning last?

The cushioning typically lasts for 300-500 miles, depending on usage and runner weight.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The GEL-KAYANO 20 is primarily designed for road running. While it can handle light trails, it's not optimized for rugged terrain.

How do I determine the right size?

It's best to have your feet measured at a specialty running store, as sizes can vary. Consider the length and width of your feet.

How often should I replace my GEL-KAYANO 20 shoes?

Replace your shoes every 300-500 miles or when the cushioning or support diminishes.

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Yes, the GEL-KAYANO 20 can be used for walking. However, they are designed specifically for running, so other shoes may be more suitable for walking.

What is the difference between the GEL-KAYANO 20 and newer models?

Newer models may incorporate updated technologies and design improvements. It's recommended to compare the features of the current model against the 20 to see the differences. The GEL-KAYANO 20 still provides excellent support and cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight.

Loosen the laces or try a different lacing technique. Consider sizing up if necessary.

Cushioning feels diminished.

Check the shoe's mileage; cushioning may degrade over time. Replace the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles.

Excessive wear on the outsole.

Ensure proper gait and running form. Consider consulting with a running specialist to improve form.

Shoe feels uncomfortable after a run.

Ensure the shoe fits well and is the correct size. Try using different socks.
