Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started (Setup)
Using your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 shoes is straightforward. Simply put them on and tie the laces to your desired comfort level. Ensure a secure fit that is not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage inside the shoe.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: The `rubber outsole` provides good traction on typical running surfaces such as asphalt, paved roads, and light trails. It is also suitable for indoor gym use.
- Activities: Ideal for daily running, walking, gym workouts, and general casual wear.
- Wear: Designed for adult males with a regular fit.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your Gel-Kayano 14 shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub the `synthetic upper`. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Remove any debris, mud, or small stones from the `rubber outsole` after runs using a brush.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers if needed.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure and materials, including the GEL technology and TRUSSTIC system.
