Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your ASICS Gel-Kayano 20, begin by ensuring the lacing is snug but not constricting to avoid pressure points on the midfoot. These trainers are standard adult sizing; always verify your UK size (this specific model is UK 5.5) before initial use. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after each workout and wipe down with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as these can compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning units. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
