FAQs
What is ASICS GEL technology?
ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning material strategically placed in the midsole of the shoe to absorb shock and provide superior comfort during impact, protecting your joints.
Do these shoes run true to size?
No, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 tends to run small. It is recommended to order at least a half size larger than your typical UK shoe size for the best fit.
Can I use the Gel-Kayano 14 for serious running?
While originally designed as a running shoe and featuring advanced cushioning and support, the Gel-Kayano 14 has transitioned into a lifestyle shoe. It is suitable for light to moderate running and daily wear, but for competitive or high-mileage training, you might consider ASICS' more specialized running models.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a component found in the midfoot of the sole. Its purpose is to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, enhancing stability and preventing the shoe from twisting excessively.
How should I clean my Gel-Kayano 14 shoes?
You can clean them by gently wiping the synthetic upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, and always allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed as a unisex shoe, making it suitable for both men and women.
What are the primary materials used in the shoe?
The shoe features a synthetic upper for durability and breathability, combined with breathable mesh panels and a durable rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The Gel-Kayano 14 is known to run small. If you're experiencing tightness, consider trying a half size larger than your usual size. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Lack of grip or slipping.
Check the rubber outsole for wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread thoroughly. If the outsole is significantly worn, it may be time to replace the shoes for optimal safety.
Foot discomfort or pain after wearing.
Ensure you have the correct size, as an ill-fitting shoe can cause discomfort. Also, make sure the laces are adjusted correctly for your foot. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist.
Unpleasant odor from shoes.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to air them separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb odors.

- Cleaning: Gently wipe the synthetic upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can warp materials.
