FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 suitable for running?
While inspired by a heritage running shoe, the GEL-Kayano 14 is primarily designed for lifestyle, daily wear, and light activities. For serious or competitive running, ASICS offers more specialized performance running shoes.
What is GEL Technology Cushioning?
ASICS's GEL Technology is a silicone-based material strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact. This provides superior cushioning and comfort, reducing stress on your joints.
What does the TRUSSTIC Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC Support System is a component found in the midfoot of the shoe. Its purpose is to enhance stability, prevent the shoe from twisting excessively during movement, and maintain the structural integrity of the shoe.
How do I clean my GEL-Kayano 14 shoes?
Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. For the outsole, use a soft brush and soapy water. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Are these shoes true to size?
Sizing can be subjective and vary slightly between models. We recommend trying your usual UK shoe size first. If you're between sizes, consider trying the next half size up as retro-fit models can sometimes feel snug.
What materials are used in the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14?
The upper features a combination of breathable mesh and durable synthetic overlays. The midsole incorporates GEL Technology and the TRUSSTIC Support System, while the outsole is made of rubber for traction.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time.
Ensure your shoes are laced correctly, not too tight or too loose. Consider trying different insoles for personalized arch support, or experiment with different sock thicknesses.
The shoes look dirty quickly, especially the mesh.
Regularly wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh and synthetic materials, following the care instructions carefully.
I hear a squeaking sound when I walk.
Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, dusting a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe underneath where the insole sits, then reinsert the insole.
The shoe feels a bit tight/loose compared to other shoes.
Footwear sizing can vary between brands and models. Ensure you tried the correct size for your foot. If slightly tight, try wearing thinner socks. If slightly loose, thicker socks or an additional insole might help. Lacing techniques can also adjust fit.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-Kayano 14:
- Cleaning the Upper:
- For the mesh and synthetic overlays, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which can damage the materials.
- For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions.
- Cleaning the Sole:
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to clean dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and midsole.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying:
- Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like a dryer or radiator), as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Stuffing the shoes with paper towels or newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage:
- Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep them clean before storing to prevent dirt from setting into the material.
- Avoid Submerging:
- While the materials are somewhat durable, fully submerging the shoes in water for cleaning is not recommended, as it can affect the adhesives and cushioning.
Regular, gentle cleaning is key to keeping your GEL-Kayano 14s looking fresh.
