FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for running marathons?

While the Gel-Kayano 14 offers good cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light training. For marathon running, consider ASICS models specifically engineered for long-distance running performance and support.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart or compare with a previously well-fitting pair of shoes. The size listed (e.g., UK 8) refers to the standard UK adult male foot measurement.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The materials offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry completely.

What is the main difference between Gel and FlyteFoam technology?

Gel technology is designed for superior shock absorption and impact protection, while FlyteFoam offers a lighter weight and superior bounce-back for responsive cushioning.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after heavy use or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

What does 'inspired by early 2000s trainers' mean for the design?

This refers to the aesthetic. The shoes feature design elements, layered construction, and color blocking popular in trainer designs from the early 2000s, updated with modern materials and technologies.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a comfortable fit. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the lacing pattern needs adjustment.

Reduced cushioning over time

While Gel and FlyteFoam are durable, cushioning can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant wear is apparent or comfort is greatly reduced.

Slipping on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists on smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution as no outsole guarantees perfect grip in all conditions.
