Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 20 is a high-performance trainer designed for adults who prioritize structural support and cushioning for long-distance wear and daily activity. Originally launched in 2013, these trainers offer an architectural aesthetic and reliable stability technology; however, users should note that the leather construction requires specific maintenance to preserve the material's appearance and longevity compared to mesh alternatives.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious marathon running?
While the Gel-Kayano 20 features excellent cushioning, its construction is better suited for everyday use and moderate distance walking due to the leather upper's weight and breathability profiles compared to modern performance racing shoes.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a clean, damp cloth to remove light surface marks. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system is specifically designed to provide structural integrity and support throughout the midfoot area.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required for your specific foot anatomy.
Are these waterproof?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creasing in the leather.
Slippery outsoles
Ensure the rubber outsole is free from debris and mud; regular cleaning with a soft brush will maintain optimal traction.
Feeling too tight initially
Leather can take time to 'break in' and conform to your foot shape; wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the material to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your ASICS Gel-Kayano 20, select your standard UK sizing as they are designed for a consistent adult fit. Regarding care, because these trainers feature leather materials, avoid machine washing. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth and use a professional-grade leather cleaner when necessary to prevent cracking or discoloration. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the leather and the integrity of the cushioning foam.
