FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 design?

The design is inspired by the Y2K era, bringing a retro aesthetic from the early 2000s with its specific color blocking and material choices.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they incorporate running shoe technology like GEL cushioning, the GEL-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for comfort and style. For intense running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the cream mesh and metallic overlays?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Use a soft brush for the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow to air dry.

What does the "Metallic Pastel" colorway include?

It features a cream mesh base with purple and silver metallic overlays, complemented by a tan midsole.

What sizes are available?

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 is available in various adult sizes. Refer to the specific product listing for available UK shoe sizes.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for average width feet. While the laces allow for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them less comfortable than models specifically designed for wider fits.

What is the material composition of the shoe?

The shoe typically features a mesh upper with synthetic leather or metallic overlays and a rubber outsole with GEL cushioning in the midsole.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the ASICS size chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you are measuring your foot correctly (length and width). Consider the specific fit characteristics of the GEL-Kayano 14 series.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted properly, not too tight or too loose. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance may subtly decrease with extensive use. Clean the shoes regularly to maintain material integrity. Avoid exposing them to extreme conditions.

Color transfer from overlays

In rare cases, metallic overlays might transfer color, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, particularly in damp conditions. Clean gently as per care instructions.
