ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - White - 8.5 UK

The Gel-Kayano 14 offers excellent comfort and stability, making them great for everyday wear, light jogging, or walking. While they incorporate performance-grade cushioning, they are primarily designed with a lifestyle and heritage athletic focus, not as a dedicated high-performance running shoe for competitive or long-distance training.

Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals. For leather sections, a specialized leather cleaner can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.

GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the midsole. It provides superior shock absorption, helping to protect your joints from impact during movement.

The TRUSSTIC support system is a component located under the arch of the shoe that enhances stability and reduces the shoe's weight while retaining structural integrity. It helps to control torsion and maintain the shoe's shape during motion, improving gait efficiency.

Yes, the insole is produced using a solution dyeing technique. This process significantly reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon dioxide emissions by about 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

ASICS generally runs true to size. We recommend referring to the ASICS official sizing chart and trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes or have specific foot concerns.

The Gel-Kayano 14 is not waterproof. While the synthetic and leather upper offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to moisture absorption. We recommend avoiding severe wet weather or using a water-repellent spray for added protection.

Adjust the laces evenly across the vamp. If the issue persists, double-check your size against ASICS' sizing guide; footwear should feel snug but not restrictive.

Remove the insoles after use and allow them to air dry. Consider using shoe deodorizers or rotating between shoes to allow them to fully dry out between wears.

Sometimes, new insoles can cause squeaking. Try removing them, sprinkling a little baby powder underneath, and reinserting. Ensure the outer sole is clean and dry.

For fresh stains, gently blot with a clean cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild shoe cleaner or a leather/synthetic-specific cleaner, following product instructions, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove embedded dirt or small stones that can reduce traction. If the tread is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary (though not typical for new shoes).
