FAQs
Are the Asics Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the GEL cushioning technology and TRUSSTIC™ system are designed to provide support and shock absorption beneficial for long-distance running like marathons.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the Asics sizing chart available online or in-store. Generally, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the GEL technology, adhesives, and upper materials. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the difference between the Gel-Kayano 14 and newer models?
The Gel-Kayano 14 represents a specific era's technology and design. Newer models typically feature updated materials, enhanced cushioning systems, and refined aesthetics based on ongoing research and development.
How long does the GEL cushioning typically last?
The durability of cushioning depends on usage frequency, intensity, and terrain. For regular running, the cushioning's effectiveness may gradually decrease after several hundred miles. Inspect the shoes periodically for signs of wear.
Is this shoe suitable for people with wide feet?
The Gel-Kayano 14 features a standard width. While the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find other models or brands offering wider fits more comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on, then re-tighten for a snug but not constricting fit. Consider wearing with appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, ensure you have the correct size.
Slipping on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for good traction, but very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. If slipping is a consistent issue on specific surfaces, consider the limitations of the shoe's tread pattern for those conditions.
Upper material seems dirty or stained
Follow the care instructions for cleaning the upper. For synthetic leather, use a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap. For textile, a soft brush and water may be sufficient. Always air dry.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and appearance of your Asics Gel-Kayano 14 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For synthetic leather, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Remove loose dirt with a brush or damp cloth. Stubborn marks on the rubber can often be removed with a magic eraser or a soft-bristled brush and a bit of water.
- Lining: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally after cleaning. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a mesh bag in the washing machine. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
