FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 are designed for comfort and light activity, including casual running. For marathon running or high-impact training, professional running shoes with more specialized support features might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the leather and mesh upper?

It is best to clean the upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on the leather, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What does 'Solution Dye' mean for the insole?

Solution Dye is an eco-friendly process that reduces water usage by 33% and CO2 emissions by 45% during the insole's production, making the shoe more environmentally sustainable.

Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?

Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalized comfort and support.

What is the intended fit of these trainers?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 are designed to fit true to size and offer a comfortable, secure fit through their lace-up closure and supportive upper.

What era does the design aesthetic represent?

The design aesthetic harks back to the late 2000s, specifically referencing the original GEL-KAYANO™ series from that period, updated with modern comfort and materials.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The mesh upper offers breathability, which means they are not suitable for heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace-up closure. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.

Reduced cushioning over time.

GEL™ cushioning is designed for durability but may lessen with extensive use. For continued comfort, consider replacing the insoles.

Surface dirt on leather or mesh.

Gently wipe the affected areas with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner.

Shoe odor.

Ensure the shoes are completely dry after wear. Use a shoe deodorizer or place baking soda inside overnight. Air them out regularly.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the integrity of the leather and mesh, it is recommended to clean them with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing if possible, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  • Drying: If washed (contrary to recommendation), air dry them completely. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can warp the shape and materials.
  • Material Care: For the leather components, consider using a leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and cracking. The mesh areas can be gently brushed to remove surface dirt.
