ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - White - UK 9

While the Gel-Kayano 14 originates from a performance running shoe line, this specific edition has been re-imagined for contemporary street fashion and comfort. They are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light everyday activities rather than high-performance or intense running workouts.

For the textile and synthetic leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used with a soft brush, followed by wiping clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, and always air dry them away from direct heat.

The upper is constructed from a combination of high-quality textile material and durable synthetic leather. The sole incorporates synthetic materials with ASICS' signature GEL technology for cushioning and support.

Generally, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 fits true to size. However, foot shape can influence fit. It is recommended to try them on or consult a standard ASICS sizing guide for the most accurate fit.

GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system, strategically placed in the midsole (often in the heel and forefoot). It's designed to absorb shock during impact, providing excellent comfort, reducing stress on joints, and enhancing overall ride comfort.

The textile and synthetic leather upper provides some degree of protection against light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing water to maintain their condition and comfort. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for sneakers can offer additional protection.

The materials, especially the synthetic leather, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house or on light errands before extended use. The shoe will conform more to your foot over time.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent material damage.

Allow your shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove the insoles if possible to air them separately. You can also use odor-absorbing inserts, sprinkle baking soda inside (leave overnight, then shake out), or use shoe deodorizer sprays.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing method, such as a double knot. You may also consider replacing the laces with ones that have a slightly different texture or material for better grip.
