FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the Gel-Kayano 20 is based on a classic running design, modern technology has advanced significantly; it is best suited for daily wear and light activity.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather construction provides some resistance to light moisture, but it is not waterproof and should be treated with a protectant spray if worn in wet conditions.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the sockliners are removable, allowing you to insert most standard custom orthotic insoles.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Measure your feet while standing at the end of the day. Asics generally run true to size, but always aim for a comfortable gap at the toe.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather and GEL components to dry out or crack over time.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness in the midfoot area
Adjust the laces using the FLUIDFIT cage eyelets to customize tension across the bridge of your foot.
Visible dirt on leather upper
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, slightly damp brush to gently remove surface debris.
Slippage in the heel
Try a runner's loop (lace lock) method with the extra eyelets to secure your heel more firmly into the collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 20 trainers remain in top condition, proper maintenance is essential. As these shoes feature leather components, avoid machine washing or total submersion in water, as this can degrade the material and adhesives. Instead, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. If the interior becomes damp, remove the sockliner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. When sizing, note that these trainers generally follow standard UK sizing; ensure a thumb-width of space between your toes and the front of the shoe for the best fit.
