What does the GEL cushioning do?

The trademark GEL cushioning in the sole is designed to absorb shock effectively during impact, providing comfort and reducing stress on your feet and joints.

How should I clean these trainers?

Clean the exterior using a soft, damp cloth and a soft brush for mesh areas. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

Is this shoe suitable for all foot types?

The Gel-Kayano 14 is generally suitable for neutral pronation or mild overpronation due to its TRUSSTIC support system. For specific needs, consulting with a footwear specialist is recommended.

This colorway features a predominantly black mesh upper with black and silver synthetic leather overlays, offering a stylish and versatile look.

Can I wear these for gym workouts?

What size is this specific product listing?

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. This model is UK 9. Adjust lacing to optimize fit. Consider using thicker or thinner socks.

Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may decrease after extensive use. Consider replacement if comfort significantly degrades.

Discoloration on the mesh or overlays.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Squeaking sound during walking or running.

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's components or between the sole and the ground. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. Sometimes, this sound resolves on its own with continued use.
