Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of original running shoe comfort and contemporary street style. Their key benefit lies in the renowned GEL cushioning technology and breathable mesh, offering both support and ventilation. A potential consideration is their transition from performance running to a more lifestyle-oriented fashion item, meaning they may not suit high-performance athletic needs. This edition retains the comfort and security of the original running-shoe design, implementing its renowned GEL cushioning technology and breathable mesh panels, available in a Metropolis/Jasper Green colourway.

FAQs

Are the GEL-Kayano 14 suitable for actual running?

While the GEL-Kayano 14 originated as a running shoe and retains its cushioning technology, this specific iteration is primarily designed and marketed for lifestyle and fashion wear. For dedicated high-performance running, consider newer, sport-specific ASICS models.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it to the chart. The GEL-Kayano 14 in this guide is a UK size 11.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features breathable mesh panels combined with leather overlays for support and durability.

How does the GEL cushioning work?

The GEL technology is ASICS's proprietary cushioning system that absorbs shock upon impact, providing a soft landing and reducing stress on the joints.

What does 'Metropolis/Jasper Green' refer to?

This describes the colourway of the trainers. 'Metropolis' likely refers to a shade of grey, and 'Jasper Green' refers to a green hue, applied to different parts of the shoe.

Is this shoe unisex?

While the listed size is UK 11 for a male variant, the GEL-Kayano 14 model itself is often considered unisex due to its design, though sizing should be confirmed.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using specialized insoles if you require additional arch support or cushioning.

Mesh panels appear dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: The GEL-Kayano 14 trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. While they retain running shoe DNA, they are best suited for lifestyle wear rather than competitive athletic events.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the integrity of the materials and colour.
