FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for marathon running?
The Gel-Kayano 14 offers excellent cushioning and support, making them suitable for training runs and shorter distances. For marathon running, consider ASICS' dedicated marathon racing shoe lines which often feature lighter materials and more specialized technologies for long-distance performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are typically slightly larger, is recommended.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the GEL cushioning, support systems, and the materials of the upper. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the TRUSSTIC system?
The TRUSSTIC support system provides stability in the midfoot area, helping to control pronation and contributing to a more efficient and supported gait during movement.
What does the 'Monaco Blue Silver' colorway refer to?
This refers to the specific color scheme of the trainers, featuring a primary dark blue (Monaco Blue) mesh upper accented with metallic silver overlays and black ASICS stripes.
How does the GEL cushioning work?
ASICS' GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system located in the heel and forefoot. It is designed to absorb shock effectively upon impact, providing a comfortable transition and reducing stress on the joints.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Ensure the shoes are dry. If the noise persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or contact customer support.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider using thicker or thinner socks, or explore aftermarket insoles for minor adjustments. For significant fit issues, consult the retailer regarding exchanges.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While the anti-slip grooves offer good grip, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be limited. Clean the sole regularly to ensure grooves are free of debris. For superior wet traction, consider specialized footwear if this is a primary concern.

Compatibility: Designed for general adult use, suitable for men. Sizing is provided in UK shoe sizes. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic and casual apparel.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh brushes that could damage the mesh.
- Cleaning the Sole: For the rubber sole, a brush and mild soap with water can be effective for removing mud or debris. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colors and materials.
