ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - Grey - UK 7.5

ASICS Gel technology involves strategically placed silicone-based material in the midsole, typically in the heel and forefoot, designed to absorb shock and provide cushioning, enhancing comfort and reducing impact on your joints during movement.

While the Gel-Kayano 14 offers excellent comfort and support for general use, its primary design emphasis is on comfort and a heritage aesthetic. For marathon running or high-performance competitive running, ASICS offers more specialized models designed with specific performance metrics in mind.

We recommend trying on the shoes to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, refer to the official ASICS size guide, measure your foot length accurately, and consider if you prefer a slightly looser or snugger fit based on your activity.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the hand-cleaning care instructions provided in this guide.

The '2000s running aesthetic' refers to the design language prevalent in performance running shoes from the early 2000s. This typically includes a more layered upper design, visible cushioning elements, metallic accents, and a robust yet technical appearance, which the Gel-Kayano 14 faithfully recreates.

Yes, the muted Cloud Grey colorway is highly versatile. It's a neutral tone that can easily be paired with a wide range of colors and styles, from activewear to more casual everyday attire, making it a great addition to any wardrobe.

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes sometimes require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. Consider different sock thicknesses.

Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Remove insoles to dry separately. Consider using an athletic shoe deodorizer or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Shoe cushioning can degrade over time with heavy use. If the shoe is old, it might be time for replacement. For newer shoes, ensure you're using them for appropriate activities; excessive high-impact activities might accelerate wear.

Follow the care instructions: gently spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing which can damage the mesh.

This can sometimes be due to moisture trapped between the insole and the sole. Remove the insole, clean and dry both the insole and the shoe interior thoroughly. If it persists, it could indicate wear in the sole construction.
