FAQs

What is ASICS GEL technology?

ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system made from silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the midsole. It absorbs impact, disperses shock, and provides exceptional comfort and protection during activity.

What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. It provides enhanced stability, reduces the weight of the sole unit, and helps control torsion, maintaining the structural integrity of the shoe during motion.

Are these shoes suitable for serious marathon training?

The Gel-Kayano 14 provides excellent cushioning and stability, making it suitable for daily training, moderate distances, and recovery runs. For specialized marathon training or long distances, individual biomechanics and preference play a role; some runners may prefer models specifically designed for ultra-long distances, but these are a capable option.

How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 shoes?

Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Use a brush for the outsole to remove dirt. Air dry thoroughly at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Is the Gel-Kayano 14 environmentally friendly?

The insole of this model is manufactured using an ecological solution dyeing technology. This process significantly reduces water consumption and carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

What kind of fit can I expect?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 features a 'regular fit,' which typically means it provides a standard, accommodating feel for most foot shapes. It's designed for comfort and stability without being overly narrow or wide.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The Gel-Kayano 14 draws inspiration from the original 2008 design, offering a reinterpretation of a running icon. Its aesthetics are heavily influenced by the 2000s, combining heritage style with updated materials and technologies.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel uncomfortable or get hot during wear.

Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. If heat persists, ensure shoes are properly aired out between uses. The 'regular fit' may not suit all foot types, consider trying different lacing techniques or insoles.

The grip feels less effective than expected.

Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris (small stones, mud) that might reduce traction. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush and water. On wet or very slippery surfaces, adjust your stride to ensure full outsole contact.

Shoes are developing an unpleasant odor.

Remove the insoles after each wear to allow them and the shoe interior to air dry completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing).

The shoe feels less stable than when new.

Inspect the TRUSSTIC support system area and outsole for excessive wear or damage. Ensure laces are securely tied to provide proper foot lockdown. Over time, all shoes experience some material compression; if significant, it might be time to consider replacement.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Gel-Kayano 14 shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic and leather upper, gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and midsole. A damp cloth can wipe down the sides of the sole.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  4. Insoles: The eco-friendly insole can be removed and air-dried if it gets damp or needs freshening. If necessary, hand wash with mild soap and water.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as this can severely damage their structure and materials.
