FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for running?
The Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual comfort sneaker, leveraging its Gel™ technology for excellent everyday impact absorption. While comfortable for light jogs or walks, it is not engineered as a specialized high-performance running shoe for intense training or competitive events. For dedicated running, ASICS offers other models specifically designed for that purpose.
How do I determine my size?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 follows standard UK adult sizing. We recommend referring to the official ASICS size chart for precise measurements. If you are between sizes, consider going up to the next half size for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
What is Gel™ technology?
Gel™ technology is an advanced cushioning system developed by ASICS. It involves strategically placed silicone-based gel units in the midsole that effectively absorb shock during impact and provide superior comfort, helping to reduce the strain on your joints and feet.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14. The materials, particularly the leather and adhesives, can be damaged by the harshness of a washing machine cycle. Always spot clean them manually as described in the care section.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is constructed with leather and mesh, which are not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light splashes, but they are not designed to be worn in heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the materials.
How do I prevent foot odor?
To prevent foot odor, allow your sneakers to air out completely between wears. Removing the insoles after use can help them dry more thoroughly. You can also use foot powders or sneaker deodorizers, and consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Check your lacing. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure without overtightening. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size up or down.
The shoes are making a squeaking noise.
Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insoles. This can reduce friction.
My sneakers look dirty and have stubborn stains.
For leather areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of leather cleaner. For mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the front laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Adjust the tension evenly across your foot for a snug but comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving them too loose, which can lead to instability.
- First Wear: Wear your new sneakers indoors for a short period to allow them to conform to your foot shape before extended outdoor use.
Compatibility
These unisex adult sneakers are designed to complement a wide range of casual and athleisure wear. Their distinctive multicolor (Black | Lemon Spark) aesthetic makes them a statement piece that pairs well with jeans, shorts, tracksuits, and other casual attire. Given their comfort-focused design, they are compatible with activities like daily commuting, walking, and social outings.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: The leather and mesh construction is not designed to be waterproof. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
