Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While based on performance-running architecture, the Gel-Kayano 14 is now positioned primarily as a lifestyle and daily-use trainer.
How should I clean the blue and silver fabric?
Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently wipe the material. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the silver detailing.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
It is a technical component placed under the arch that provides stability and helps reduce the weight of the shoe's sole unit.
Do these shoes come in wider widths?
The standard version is designed for a medium-width adult foot. Please check individual model specs for wide-fit designations.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional support.
What does the '14' in the name signify?
It refers to the 14th iteration of the iconic Kayano series, which pays homage to the design language of the 2000s.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace with even tension to allow the upper to contour to your foot shape.
Sole feels slightly slippery on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are free of debris or grit; the rubber compound is designed for standard urban surfaces, but traction will decrease if the tread is clogged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as the fit should be snug but not constricting around the midfoot.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair well with both technical sportswear and casual denim due to the classic blue and silver aesthetic.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, spot treat with mild soap and water. Never submerge the shoes in a washing machine, as this can degrade the GEL cushioning properties.
- Air Drying: Always let your shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
