ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - Black - UK 11

While the Gel-Kayano series has roots in performance running, the Gel-Kayano 14 is often re-issued as a lifestyle sneaker. It offers excellent cushioning and stability for everyday wear and light activities, but for intensive or competitive running, ASICS offers more specialized performance running shoes.

Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials. For tougher dirt, use a sneaker cleaning solution formulated for synthetic and textile materials. Air dry away from direct heat.

The TRUSSTIC system is a technology integrated into the midsole that provides stability and reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe. It helps to guide the foot and prevent excessive twisting.

Yes, the Gel-Kayano 14 features visible GEL technology in the midsole, contributing to its distinctive aesthetic and providing superior shock absorption for a comfortable ride.

No, the breathable mesh upper is not designed to be waterproof. While it offers excellent ventilation, it will not prevent water from entering the shoe in wet conditions.

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable textile mesh and synthetic overlays, designed for both comfort and support.

While this specific variant is listed for 'Male', the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is a popular silhouette often worn by individuals of any gender who find the fit and style suitable. ASICS also offers the Gel-Kayano 14 in unisex or female-specific colorways and sizes.

Adjust the lace tension. For looseness, ensure laces are cinched evenly from the toes upwards. For tightness, try re-lacing using different techniques (e.g., skipping eyelets for specific pressure points) or consider wearing thinner/thicker socks. Remember, a new shoe might require a short break-in period.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the sockliner and the shoe's interior, or between parts of the outsole and certain surfaces. Try removing the sockliner, cleaning both the sockliner and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting it. If the squeaking persists, a small amount of baby powder under the sockliner can sometimes help.

Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently scrub the affected area. For stubborn stains, a dedicated shoe cleaner for synthetic and textile materials is recommended. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally.
