FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-Kayano series has a running heritage, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed with a retro aesthetic and enhanced comfort for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious performance running, ASICS offers dedicated running shoe lines optimized for various training needs.
What is GEL Technology and how does it benefit me?
ASICS GEL Technology is a cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel inserts strategically placed in key areas of the midsole. It's designed to absorb shock during impact and provide a softer, more comfortable feel, reducing strain on your feet and joints during daily activities.
How do I choose the correct size for the Gel-Kayano 14?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is available in UK sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the official ASICS sizing chart. If possible, try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you are between sizes or new to ASICS footwear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather conditions?
The mesh upper of the Gel-Kayano 14 provides breathability but is not designed to be waterproof. For wet conditions, your feet may get damp. Consider shoes with specific water-resistant or waterproof membranes if you need protection from rain.
What is the TRUSSTIC Support System?
The TRUSSTIC System is an advanced technology found in the midfoot of the shoe. Its purpose is to reduce the weight of the sole unit while maintaining the structural integrity of the shoe, thereby offering enhanced stability and preventing excessive twisting during movement.
What materials are primarily used in the shoe's construction?
The upper of the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 typically features a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and flexibility, along with leather overlays for structural support, durability, and its characteristic aesthetic.
Is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 a unisex model?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed and marketed as a unisex model, making it suitable for both men and women who appreciate its style and comfort features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose during wear.
Adjust the lacing system to find your optimal comfort level. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, verify the shoe size against your foot measurements and ASICS' sizing chart, as individual foot shapes can vary.
A noticeable squeaking sound occurs when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes, removing, cleaning, and carefully reinserting the insole can resolve this. If the sole itself squeaks, it might be due to moisture between the outsole and a smooth surface; ensure shoes are dry before wear.
Unpleasant odor develops in the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out after each wear, ideally in a well-ventilated area. Remove insoles occasionally for better air circulation. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are clean and made of breathable materials.

Setup: To begin, simply lace up the shoes to achieve a snug and comfortable fit. Adjust the laces as needed to ensure your foot feels secure without being overly tight or loose. It's advisable to wear socks that you typically use to ensure an accurate fit.
Compatibility: This model is a unisex design and is suitable for adults. Its versatile black color and classic style make it highly compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure outfits, easily integrating into various personal styles.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14, gently wipe the mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks on the leather components, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear or leather. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight, which can damage materials. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the shoe's structure, materials, and adhesives. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
