FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the GEL-KAYANO 20 trainers?

The GEL-KAYANO 20 trainers are primarily designed for running, offering structural cushioning and support for longer distances. They also function well for general athletic activities and everyday wear due to their supportive design.

How does the GEL™ Technology Cushioning work?

GEL™ Technology is strategically placed within the midsole to absorb shock during impact phases of running or walking, providing enhanced comfort and reducing stress on the joints.

Are these trainers suitable for flat feet or overpronation?

The GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC Support System is incorporated to aid in stability and control pronation, making them a suitable option for individuals who need extra support.

What is the origin of the Gel-Kayano 20's design?

The design draws aesthetic influences from buildings and cars, aiming for a technical shape that blends functionality with a unique architectural and automotive-inspired look.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction. Cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap is the preferred method.

What are the materials used in the upper?

The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh for ventilation, complemented by leather overlays for added structure and durability.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not constrictive around the midfoot and heel.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. Loosen the laces significantly and re-tie them, focusing on distributing pressure evenly.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While durable, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles or evaluating the shoe for replacement if it has seen significant mileage.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For slippery surfaces, be cautious. The outsole is designed for general traction; specialized shoes may be needed for extreme conditions.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. If minor tears occur, consider a fabric repair adhesive designed for athletic shoes. For significant damage, repair might not be feasible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent structural cushioning for long-distance support.
  • Durable construction with leather overlays.
  • Breathable mesh upper for enhanced comfort.
  • Technical design inspired by architectural and automotive aesthetics.
  • Provides good traction and stability.

Cons

  • Design may appear dated to some users seeking modern aesthetics.
  • Primarily designed for running; may offer less flexibility for very casual wear.
  • Fit might require a break-in period for some individuals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Gel-Kayano 20 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running and general athletic activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For dirt and light stains, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the mesh and leather surfaces. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
