FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and responsiveness required for marathon running.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS official sizing guide, which typically provides measurements in centimeters to help you find the most accurate fit for your foot length. It's also helpful to check customer reviews for insights on sizing accuracy.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS trainers, as this can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Handwashing with a mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.

The main color of these specific ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers is Grey, with secondary Black accents.

What year were the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers originally released?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14, part of the series, was originally released in 2008. This model is a reissue that revives the original design and technology.

Are these trainers unisex?

The product description mentions 'Unisex Sneaker', indicating they are designed to be suitable for both men and women, though specific sizing is listed by UK male sizing in this instance.

How should I store my Gel-Kayano 14 trainers when not in use?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help them retain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Try the trainers with different thickness socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if an exchange for a different size is needed. Refer to ASICS sizing charts for guidance.

Discomfort during initial wear

New trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure they are laced correctly for proper support.

Color transfer onto socks

This can sometimes occur with new dyed materials. Washing the inside of the shoe lightly with a damp cloth may help. Ensure socks are not excessively wet when worn.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but performance can diminish with heavy or prolonged use. Maintain clean footwear and avoid exposing them to extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
  4. Socks: Wear appropriate socks to prevent interior odor and material wear.
