FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The signature GEL cushioning in the heel is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during running and walking.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, the overall fit is based on standard sizing. It is recommended to try them on or consult a sizing guide if you have wider feet.
Can I wear these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?
The Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily a running shoe. While they offer good support for general training, they may not provide the specific lateral stability required for intense cross-training activities.
How does the TRUSSTIC support system work?
The TRUSSTIC system is a plastic shank located in the midfoot that provides stability by controlling the twist of the shoe and maintaining its structural integrity.
What is the intended lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, terrain, and individual biomechanics. For regular running, it's generally recommended to replace trainers every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when cushioning and support begin to diminish.
Are there other color options available for the Gel-Kayano 14?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 14 model is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for alternative options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks. Over time, the shoe may also offer a slight stretch with wear.
Soles feel stiff initially
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Mesh appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
