ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers - Grey - Green - UK 13

The GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock during impact, providing excellent comfort and reducing stress on your joints.

The standard fit is designed for regular width feet. While the materials offer some flexibility, if you have significantly wide feet, you may want to check if a wide (2E or 4E) version is available or consider trying them on first.

The Trusstic system is a midfoot support element that provides stability by preventing the shoe from twisting unnecessarily. This helps to guide your foot through a more natural gait cycle.

Purchase from reputable retailers who are authorized dealers of ASICS products. Be wary of significantly discounted prices from unknown sources, as these may indicate counterfeit items. The product information states 'Brand & Trust Drop Zone has been selling authentic branded footwear online for over 10 years.'

While the Gel-Kayano 14 offers good cushioning and stability, they are generally considered more suitable for daily training, shorter runs, and casual wear. For marathon distances, consider models specifically designed for ultra-long runs which may offer enhanced durability and specialized cushioning.

This refers to the colorway of the trainers. 'Metropolis' is a dark gray, complemented by 'Jasper Green' accents, and features metallic silver leather details.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not right, consult the ASICS sizing guide or consider trying a half-size up or down. Different models can have slight variations in fit.

The GEL technology and midsole foam can degrade with extensive use. For optimal performance, it's recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles or when signs of wear (like compressed cushioning) appear.

For minor scuffs on leather parts, a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner can be used. Mesh areas can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying.
