ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - Blue - Silver - Trainers - UK 6

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 are inspired by running shoes but are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For marathon running, specialized performance marathon shoes would be more appropriate.

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should feel comfortable around the width of your foot.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structure of the shoe.

This refers to the specific color combination of the trainers, featuring a dark blue mesh base with metallic silver accents and black detailing.

The TRUSSTIC system is a molded component located under the midfoot that provides stability and helps control the rate of pronation, contributing to a more supportive stride.

The mesh upper is designed for breathability and a lightweight feel. While durable for everyday use, it's less resistant to abrasion or tearing compared to more robust materials like leather or synthetic overlays.

The GEL cushioning technology is strategically placed within the midsole to attenuate shock during the impact and toe-off phases of your stride, providing a softer landing and smoother transition.

Wear them with appropriate socks for an initial break-in period. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if insoles might affect the fit.

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

The GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For significant loss of responsiveness, it might be time to consider replacement.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For persistent issues, consider the shoe's intended use; they are designed for general wear and light athletic activities, not specialized traction needs.
