FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning provides advanced shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, which enhances comfort during wear.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer good cushioning and support for everyday activities and light training, they are best suited for daily comfort and moderate use rather than high-mileage marathon running, which may require specialized performance footwear.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Refer to the size chart and consider your usual shoe size. These trainers are noted to have a standard width fit, so if you typically require a wide fit, this model might not be suitable.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and cushioning. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What does the Trusstic Support System do?
The Trusstic Support System is integrated into the midsole to provide stability and torsional rigidity, helping to control pronation and support the arch.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed with a breathable open mesh material, complemented by synthetic leather overlays for structure and durability.
How should I store my Gel-Kayano 14 trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure they are clean and dry before storage to maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider the standard width. For minor tightness, breaking them in with consistent wear may help. For looseness, ensure laces are tied appropriately.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
While GEL cushioning is durable, performance may decrease with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing shoes that have been heavily worn for a long period.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Rinse carefully and allow to air dry completely.

Care Instructions:
