FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for running?
While the Gel-Kayano series has a strong running heritage, this specific '14' model with its 2000s design and leather components is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light daily activities. For serious running, more modern performance-oriented ASICS running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the mesh and leather parts of the shoe?
For leather sections, use a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner, then condition. For mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
Does this shoe run true to size?
Generally, ASICS shoes are considered to run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend consulting the ASICS size guide and considering your usual athletic shoe size.
What is the Trusstic System?
The Trusstic System is a technology in the midfoot area of the sole that helps stabilize the shoe by reinforcing the middle part and preventing excessive twisting. This enhances overall stability and support during movement.
What does GEL technology do?
GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system, strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock effectively. It helps protect your feet from impact and provides a more comfortable experience during walking or standing.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is not explicitly designed as a waterproof shoe. While the leather components offer some water resistance, the mesh areas will allow water to pass through. It is not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points, or wear thinner socks. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size larger or a wider fit if available.
The shoe makes a squeaking sound when I walk.
Info needed: The source of squeaking can vary. Check if the insole is properly seated, as a loose insole can cause noise. If the sound comes from the outsole, it might be due to trapped moisture or a specific floor surface. Cleaning the outsole can sometimes resolve this.
The upper material looks dirty or scuffed.
Follow the care instructions provided above. For leather, use a specific leather cleaner and conditioner. For mesh, a gentle brush and mild soap solution work best. Address stains quickly to prevent them from setting.
My feet feel hot and sweaty.
The mesh components are designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between uses, and consider using shoe deodorizers or moisture absorbers.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the leather sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. For the mesh parts, use a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Always avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Odour Control: If desired, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not wearing them to absorb moisture and odors.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the shoes in water, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
