FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for wide feet?
The Gel-Kayano 14 comes in a standard D width. If you have wider feet, you may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider alternative models designed for wider fits.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The care instructions specify hand washing only with a damp cloth to preserve the materials and structure of the shoe.
What is the main benefit of the Trusstic system?
The Trusstic support system provides midfoot structural integrity, enhancing stability and helping to prevent excessive twisting of the foot during movement.
How long does the GEL cushioning typically last?
The durability of GEL cushioning depends on usage intensity and frequency. For regular runners, it's generally advised to consider replacement after 500-800 kilometers (300-500 miles) or if you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption.
What does the 'retro design from the late 2000s' mean for the style?
This refers to the aesthetic inspiration of the shoe, which features design elements and proportions popular in running shoes from that era, giving them a distinct, vintage look.
Are these trainers good for pronation control?
The Gel-Kayano series is known for its stability features, including the Trusstic system, which can help control mild to moderate pronation. However, for severe overpronation, a specialized stability shoe might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of tension. If still too tight, consider if insoles or thicker socks are contributing to the fit.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While GEL cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if you've logged significant mileage or worn them for several years.
Discoloration or material damage from cleaning
Ensure you are only using a damp cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes as per the care instructions. If damage has occurred, cease cleaning and consult professional shoe care advice.
Lack of support during runs
Check that the Trusstic support system is intact and that the laces are properly secured. If the issue persists, the shoes may be worn out or not suitable for your specific running gait.
