FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are listed with a standard width (D), which is generally considered a medium width. They may not be the best fit for individuals with significantly wide feet.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The product information specifies hand washing only. Using harsh brushes or chemical cleaners should also be avoided.
How long does the GEL cushioning typically last?
The longevity of GEL cushioning depends on usage intensity and frequency. For regular running, it's advisable to consider replacement after significant mileage or when cushioning feels diminished.
What is the primary purpose of the Trusstic support system?
The Trusstic support system is designed to add rigidity to the middle part of the sole, preventing unwanted twisting and providing enhanced stability to the foot during gait.
How do I best maintain the retro look of the shoes?
Regularly wipe down the synthetic leather and textile components with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing them to harsh elements or improper cleaning methods that could degrade the materials or color.
What are the main materials used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic leather (72%) and synthetic fiber (28%), contributing to both durability and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Slight initial stiffness
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. The GEL cushioning and textile upper will soften with use.
Discoloration after cleaning
Ensure you are hand washing gently with a damp cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes as per the care instructions. Allow to air dry in shade.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While durable, the cushioning may lessen after extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage or signs of wear.
