FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While the GEL-Kayano 14 originated as a running shoe, this re-imagined version is primarily designed for heritage style and casual wear, offering comfort for daily activities. For serious, high-performance running or marathons, more modern, specialized running shoes are generally recommended.

How do I maintain the 'Cream/Ironclad' colorway?

To keep the 'Cream/Ironclad' looking its best, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, especially on the cream areas. Air dry away from direct sunlight.

What is the GEL Technology Cushioning?

GEL Technology Cushioning is ASICS' signature shock absorption system, strategically placed in the midsole to absorb impact and provide a comfortable, cushioned feel underfoot.

What is the TRUSSTIC Support System for?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a component in the midfoot that enhances the shoe's structural integrity, providing stability and preventing excessive twisting of the foot during movement.

Is the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 true to size?

ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 models generally fit true to size. For this specific UK 9.5 model, most users find their standard size comfortable. However, foot shapes vary, so trying them on if possible or referring to ASICS's official size chart is always recommended.

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

The upper is constructed with synthetic leather and textile, which are not waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, it's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials and prolong the shoe's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. New shoes may require a brief 'break-in' period to conform to your foot.

Creasing on the synthetic leather upper.

Creasing is a natural occurrence with wear, especially over the toes. Store shoes with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and minimize creasing when not in use.

Squeaking sound while walking.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole.

Stains on the cream-colored sections.

Address stains immediately. Use a soft cloth with a mixture of mild soap and water, or a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for synthetic materials. Gently dab the stain rather than rubbing aggressively.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your GEL-Kayano 14:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic leather and textile, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner suitable for synthetic materials. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially on the cream sections.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the cushioning and adhesive.
