ASICS Gel-Kayano Trainers - Silver - UK 6.5

While providing excellent cushioning with GEL technology, the Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are primarily designed for comfort, style, and everyday wear, including light morning runs and city exploration. For serious long-distance or competitive running, specialized performance running shoes might be more appropriate.

ASICS GEL technology involves strategically placed silicone-based material within the midsole. This material absorbs impact shock, reduces stress on joints, and provides a cushioned feel and enhanced comfort with every stride.

These trainers use standard UK sizing. It's recommended to try them on or consult a detailed ASICS size guide, as fit can vary slightly. Consider your typical athletic shoe size.

The upper is made of faux leather and mesh. While it offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to moisture penetration. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

The upper consists of a combination of faux leather and mesh for durability and breathability. The lining is made of textile for comfort, and the sole is constructed from durable rubber for grip and longevity.

It depends on usage. For daily wear or light activities, a quick wipe-down can be done weekly. For more intense use or if they get visibly dirty, clean them immediately following the 'Care Instructions' to prevent stains from setting.

Ensure laces are not too tight or too loose; adjust for optimal fit. Check sock type and material – moisture-wicking athletic socks can prevent rubbing. Allow for a break-in period if new.

Tighten laces for a more secure fit. Consider adding an insole if your foot is narrower or if you desire extra cushioning/support. Ensure socks are not too thin or slippery.

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be compromising traction. Check for excessive wear on the sole treads, which might indicate it's time for replacement.

Follow the detailed cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section. Regular cleaning prevents dirt build-up and maintains the aesthetic.

Remove insoles and air out trainers after each use. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight. Ensure trainers are completely dry after wear or cleaning.
