FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running or marathons?

While providing superior cushioning and stability, the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe with a retro aesthetic, updated for modern comfort. For competitive or high-mileage running, ASICS offers other performance-specific lines.

How do I clean the upper part of the shoe?

For the textile and synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe any soiled areas and then air dry the shoes completely, away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not machine wash.

What is the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a technology integrated into the midfoot of the shoe. Its purpose is to improve stability, prevent excessive twisting of the foot during movement, and provide a more supportive and efficient stride.

Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?

ASICS sizing is generally consistent across their range. However, individual fit can vary based on foot shape and specific model design. It's always recommended to try them on or consult the ASICS size chart if you're unsure.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 features a breathable textile and synthetic upper and is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can affect comfort and durability.

What type of cushioning does the shoe use?

The shoe incorporates ASICS' signature GEL™ Technology, strategically placed in the sole to provide superior shock absorption and cushioning, enhancing overall comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing tension evenly across your foot. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks for your activity. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size by trying them on or consulting a sizing guide.

Squeaking sound when walking.

New outsoles can sometimes squeak; this often resolves with regular wear. Ensure the shoes are completely dry if they've been exposed to moisture. A light application of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Upper material appears dirty or stained.

Gently clean the textile and synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Rub lightly, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Air dry thoroughly.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are tying your laces with a secure double knot. You may also explore different lacing techniques that offer better retention for athletic shoes.
