FAQs
What makes the GEL midsole special?
The GEL technology in the midsole is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system, designed to absorb shock effectively and provide a comfortable, responsive feel during impact and toe-off.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Gel-Kayano 14 offers good cushioning for general training and everyday wear. For dedicated long-distance running, ASICS offers specific running shoe models with enhanced features for prolonged mileage.
How do I clean the mesh and leather upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The shoes feature a standard insole that can often be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or insoles. However, fit may vary depending on the size and shape of the orthotic.
What is the main inspiration behind the Gel-Kayano 14 design?
The design is inspired by trainers from the early 2000s, blending retro aesthetics with modern performance technology.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of rubber, providing durability and reliable traction.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have consulted the ASICS sizing chart for UK sizes. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or width if available. Different models may have slight fit variations.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time
The GEL cushioning may compress slightly with prolonged use. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (performance and everyday wear) and not for activities that could excessively stress the midsole. Regular cleaning can also help maintain material integrity.
Laces wear out or break
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and thickness. ASICS or other sports retailers offer replacement laces.
