ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - White - 4 UK

While the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 offers excellent shock absorption and stability, making it suitable for light to moderate running and daily exercise, dedicated competitive runners might seek models specifically designed for peak performance or speed work. It excels as a comfortable, stable daily trainer or casual sneaker.

For the "Oyster White" and "Steeple Grey" synthetic and leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid scrubbing harshly, especially on the embossed details. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat.

ASICS generally runs true to size for most users, but foot shape and personal preference can vary. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a detailed ASICS size chart, especially if you are between sizes. This specific model is a 4 UK (adult).

The insole of the Gel-Kayano 14 is crafted using a solution dyeing technique. This process significantly reduces the amount of water required during dyeing and lowers carbon dioxide emissions compared to conventional dyeing methods, contributing to a smaller environmental footprint.

The synthetic and leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, we recommend protective measures or choosing dedicated waterproof footwear to maintain comfort and shoe longevity.

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed with inherent support features, including the TRUSSTIC system, which contributes to stability. The standard insole provides a moderate level of arch support suitable for many users. If you require specialized arch support, the insoles are generally removable, allowing for custom orthotics.

The upper of the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is constructed from a combination of synthetic materials and leather, providing a balance of durability, flexibility, and the classic aesthetic of the 2000s era design.

Adjust the lace-up closure. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, verify the size, as foot size can change or vary between brands. ASICS sizing might differ slightly from other brands.

Ensure your socks are not too thick or thin. Check for any seams or irregularities inside the shoe. Allow for a break-in period; new shoes may take a few wears to fully conform to your foot. Consider trying different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points.

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris. Ensure the shoe is dry before wearing. If grip issues persist on wet surfaces, be extra cautious as no shoe can guarantee absolute traction on all slippery conditions.

Remove insoles and air out the shoes after each wear. Wash insoles with mild soap and water, then air dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use to absorb moisture and odor.
