ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - Pure Silver Slate Grey - UK 7.5

While the Gel-Kayano series has a running heritage and these sneakers offer shock absorption and comfort, this specific model is described as a 'low-top sneaker' designed for style and general performance. For dedicated and rigorous running activities, we recommend exploring ASICS' specialized performance running shoe lines that cater to specific biomechanical needs.

These sneakers are available in UK adult male sizes. We advise measuring your foot length and comparing it to the official ASICS sizing chart. If you find yourself between sizes, opting for the larger half-size is generally recommended for comfort in athletic-style footwear.

Info needed: Specific material composition. Typically, ASICS Gel-Kayano models utilize a combination of synthetic overlays, breathable mesh fabrics for the upper, and durable rubber for the outsole, all designed for a balance of comfort, support, and longevity.

No, machine washing is strongly not recommended. The high temperatures and agitation can damage the shoe's construction, glues, and materials, leading to premature wear and potential breakdown. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the care section.

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to. For best results, spot clean any dirt or stains as soon as they appear. A more thorough cleaning can be performed every few weeks or months to maintain their fresh appearance.

The ASICS Gel-Kayano series is generally recognized for incorporating structured support features, which often include a degree of arch support, designed to promote a stable and comfortable experience. While specific arch support details for this exact model are not provided, the overall design aims for a supportive fit.

Check if the insoles are properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes, a small amount of moisture or air trapped beneath the insole can cause squeaking. Removing the insole and sprinkling a light layer of baby powder or cornstarch underneath can often resolve this.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If the size is correct, try adjusting the lacing. Different lacing patterns can provide more room in certain areas or offer a more snug fit. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely after each wear. You can also use shoe deodorizers, sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (and then vacuum it out), or place odor-absorbing inserts to help neutralize smells.

Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction. Use a brush to clear the tread patterns. If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoe's grip will naturally diminish.
