FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Gel-Kayano 14 design?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is inspired by the sporty trainer designs popular in the early 2000s, blending retro aesthetics with modern performance features.
How does the GEL cushioning benefit the wearer?
The GEL cushioning in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear, which enhances overall comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While they offer good cushioning and support for everyday activities and light training, they are not specifically designed as marathon running shoes. For marathon distances, specialized running shoes with advanced support and energy return features are recommended.
How should I clean the leather parts of the upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the leather areas. For more stubborn dirt, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of mesh and leather, offering a balance of breathability and structural support.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole provides traction, but the mesh and leather upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.
What does the UK 7 size refer to?
UK 7 refers to a standard UK men's shoe size. It is important to ensure this size aligns with your typical footwear measurements for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are snug but not constricting. If the tightness persists, consider the fit with different sock thicknesses.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe or between the sole and the ground. Try ensuring the insoles are properly seated. If the noise is persistent and bothersome, consult customer support.
Dirt buildup on mesh
Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh areas. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
