FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The GEL-Kayano 14 provides excellent cushioning and comfort for various activities, including morning runs and daily wear. For competitive or very long-distance running, ASICS offers models specifically designed with features optimized for those high-performance needs, as this model balances performance with a strong lifestyle aesthetic.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the official ASICS sizing chart. For the most accurate fit, try them on, ideally at the end of the day when your feet are typically at their largest due to natural swelling.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the trainers. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is ASICS GEL technology?
ASICS GEL technology is a revolutionary cushioning system that uses a silicone-based material strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock and provide exceptional comfort, reducing impact on your joints during movement.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Gel-Kayano series is historically known for its stability and support features. While the Gel-Kayano 14 is a lifestyle interpretation, it retains some of those foundational benefits. For specific arch support needs, consulting a footwear specialist or trying them on to assess the feel is recommended.
What materials are used in the upper part of the shoe?
The upper is crafted from a combination of faux leather and mesh. This blend provides a balance of support, breathability, and contributes to the distinct aesthetic of the shoe.
How often should I replace my trainers?
The lifespan of trainers depends on usage and activity intensity. For regular use (e.g., daily walking, light running), it's generally recommended to consider replacement every 300-500 miles or every 6-12 months, as cushioning and support can degrade over time.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing tension. For persistent issues, ensure you have the correct size; feet can swell throughout the day, so trying them on at different times might help. If you have wide feet, consider wider fit options if available.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This is often caused by moisture or friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or apply a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.
Odour developing inside the trainers.
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each use. Remove insoles occasionally for separate drying. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure you wear clean, moisture-wicking socks.
Faux leather or mesh appears dirty/stained.
Clean promptly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution as per care instructions. For stubborn stains, specialized footwear cleaners designed for synthetic materials may be effective, always spot-testing first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers involves simple setup, understanding their compatibility, and adhering to proper care.
Setup

- First Wear: Wear your new trainers for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet.
Compatibility

- Footwear with Socks: Always wear appropriate socks to enhance comfort, manage moisture, and prevent friction.
Care Instructions
To prolong the life and appearance of your Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the faux leather and mesh areas with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a small amount of mild soap (like diluted dish soap) can be used. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean dirt and debris from the rubber sole.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack, shrink, or delaminate.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp environments to prevent mildew.
- Odour Control: If odours develop, remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the trainers when not in use.
