FAQs

What is ASICS GEL technology?

ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system embedded in the shoe's midsole, designed to absorb shock during impact. It's strategically placed in areas where high-impact occurs, providing excellent comfort and protecting your joints.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the GEL-Kayano 14 has roots as a running shoe, this re-imagined version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, blending retro style with modern comfort. For serious athletic running, ASICS offers other models specifically engineered for performance.

How should I clean my ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 'Cream Ironclad' shoes?

Gently wipe the synthetic leather and textile upper with a soft, damp cloth and a mild shoe cleaner. For the midsole and outsole, use a soft brush and mild soap. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The GEL-Kayano 14 features a TRUSSTIC Support System, which helps provide stability and support to the arch area. While it offers good general support, individual arch support needs can vary. For specific arch support requirements, custom insoles might be considered.

Are ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 true to size?

ASICS shoes generally run true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up. This specific model is a UK size 4.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper of the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 'Cream Ironclad' is constructed from a combination of high-quality synthetic leather and breathable textile material, ensuring both durability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially

The GEL-Kayano 14 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot's shape.

Squeaking noise when walking

Check the outsole for any trapped debris or small stones. If the squeak persists, a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help reduce friction causing the noise.

The 'Cream Ironclad' colorway appears dull or stained

Gently clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth and a mild shoe cleaner. For deeper stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or a product specifically designed for synthetic leather and textile shoes. Always air dry.

Feet feel hot or sweaty

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks made from moisture-wicking materials. The mesh upper provides breathability, but sock choice can significantly impact foot comfort.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic leather and textile material, gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for synthetic materials, applying it sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the material or color.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution to clean the GEL midsole and rubber outsole. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Compatibility:

  • These shoes are a standard adult UK size 4.
  • Gender: Unisex design.
  • Material: Upper features synthetic leather and textile.

Tips for First Use:

  • Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet.
  • Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to prevent discomfort or pressure points.
