FAQs
Are these ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers suitable for serious running?
While the Gel-Kayano series has a strong running heritage, the current Gel-Kayano 14 model is primarily designed for comfort and contemporary street fashion. For serious or performance running, we recommend exploring ASICS' latest dedicated running shoe lines which feature more advanced performance technologies.
How should I clean my Gel-Kayano 14 trainers?
Gently wipe the mesh and upper materials with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine. Let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
What is the benefit of GEL cushioning technology?
ASICS GEL cushioning technology uses a silicone-based material strategically placed in key areas of the midsole. Its primary benefit is to absorb shock effectively during impact, providing enhanced comfort and reducing strain on your feet and joints during walking or light activities.
Do these trainers run true to size?
ASICS footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, it might be beneficial to try the next half size up for optimal comfort, especially if you prefer a slightly roomier fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather conditions?
The breathable mesh panels, while great for ventilation, are not designed to be waterproof. While they can handle very light rain, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended as it may affect the shoe's materials and comfort. Consider water-resistant options for heavy rain.
Is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 a unisex model?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 14 series is broadly considered a unisex design, and its style is popular across all genders. While specific product listings might indicate a 'Female' or 'Male' target for certain variants (such as this one listed as 'Female'), the overall design aesthetic and fit are suitable for anyone.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub during wear.
Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Verify you have the correct UK size, as an improper fit is a common cause of discomfort. Wear appropriate socks designed for athletic or casual shoes. Allow a brief break-in period if the shoes are brand new.
Feet feel excessively hot or sweaty.
While the trainers feature breathable mesh, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Regularly clean the mesh panels to prevent dust or dirt from clogging the ventilation. If conditions are very warm, consider rotating shoes.
Trainer material appears to be wearing prematurely.
Regular cleaning and proper storage away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures can significantly extend their lifespan. Avoid using them for activities beyond their intended casual and light activity use. Rotate with other shoes to reduce daily stress and allow them to air out.
Shoes are squeaking during movement.
Sometimes squeaking can be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the sole; try removing the insole and drying both thoroughly. If the squeak persists, it might be due to a loose component within the sole, which may require professional inspection.

Care:
To maintain the longevity, appearance, and performance of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh and upper materials with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge your trainers in water, as this can affect the cushioning properties and adhesives.
