ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 - Cream Ironclad - UK 11

The GEL-Kayano 14 has a rich running heritage and excellent cushioning. However, this reinterpretation is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. For modern high-performance running, ASICS offers other models specifically engineered with the latest athletic technologies.

ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact. It helps protect your joints and provides a softer, more comfortable experience, especially for daily wear.

The upper is constructed from a combination of high-quality synthetic leather overlays and breathable textile mesh. This blend offers durability, support, and ventilation.

ASICS shoes generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider ordering a half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Info needed: (Specific sizing recommendations beyond general guidance).

While the synthetic leather offers some water resistance, the textile mesh panels are breathable but not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials and prolong the shoe's life. For wet conditions, consider waterproof footwear.

Regular, gentle cleaning is key. Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe down visible dirt. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials and color. Air dry completely.

Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Try different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points or secure a looser fit.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern; if severely worn, the grip may naturally diminish.

Creasing is a natural part of wear for many shoe materials. To minimize, consider using shoe trees when storing, and avoid excessive flexing when walking.

Remove insoles and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes dry completely after wear, as moisture contributes to odor.

Follow the cleaning instructions in the 'Care Instructions' section. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain the vibrancy and cleanliness of the 'Cream Ironclad' colorway and synthetic materials.
