Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 'Monaco Blue Silver' trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for both athletic activities and everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of original GEL technology for superior shock absorption and a sustainable sock liner construction, offering a comfortable and eco-conscious choice. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific late 2000s aesthetic, which may not suit all personal styles. This iteration features a Monaco Blue mesh upper with silver and black synthetic leather overlays, a durable rubber sole with anti-slip grooves, and a TRUSSTIC support system for stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 has a standard width fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them too narrow. It's recommended to try them on if possible or check for specific wide-width options if available for this model.
How does the GEL technology work?
The GEL technology is a cushioning system developed by ASICS. It's strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock effectively during impact and toe-off phases, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride.
What does 'late 2000s aesthetic' mean for the design?
This refers to the visual style and design elements common in athletic footwear from the late 2000s. It often includes layered materials, specific paneling, and a particular silhouette that was popular during that era.
How sustainable is the sock liner?
The sock liner in this version of the Gel-Kayano 14 is produced in a way that reduces carbon emissions by 45% compared to standard methods, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 'Monaco Blue Silver' combines performance technology with a stylish retro design, making them perfectly suitable for everyday casual wear.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a component located in the midsole that provides stability. It helps to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, preventing excessive twisting.
How do I know if I have the right size UK 10.5?
A proper fit should allow enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly, with the heel cup fitting snugly without rubbing. Your foot should feel secure but not constricted. It's always best to try them on or refer to ASICS' sizing charts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are not tied too tightly. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if a break-in period is needed.
Slipping sensation during activity
Ensure laces are securely tied. Check that the sock liner is correctly placed. If the issue is with traction, inspect the outsole for excessive wear or debris.
Discomfort in the heel
The soft heel material is designed for comfort, but some users may need time to adjust. Ensure the correct size is being worn and try adjusting the lacing.
Color transfer from shoe to socks
This can sometimes occur with new, dark-colored footwear, especially when wet. Allow the shoes to dry completely before wearing, and consider wearing darker socks initially.
