FAQs
What type of activities are these shoes suitable for?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 in White is ideal for casual everyday wear, light walking, urban exploration, and social activities. Its comfort and style make it perfect for prolonged standing or walking in non-athletic settings.
How do I clean my white ASICS Gel-Kayano 14?
For basic cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft brush with a gentle shoe cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these suitable for running?
While the Gel-Kayano series originated as a performance running line, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily positioned as a retro-inspired lifestyle sneaker. It offers good cushioning for casual use but is not optimized for high-intensity or long-distance running in the same way modern performance running shoes are.
What does 'Gel-Kayano' refer to?
The 'Gel-Kayano' series is a long-standing line from ASICS known for its stability and cushioning, featuring ASICS' signature GEL technology. The '14' indicates it's the 14th iteration of the design, which has been re-released as a lifestyle classic.
Is this model available in other sizes or colors?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is available in various UK adult sizes and a range of colorways, including Pure Silver Slate Grey and Cream Pure Silver, depending on current stock and releases. You can check retailer availability for other options.
How do I ensure I have the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the ASICS size chart. For shoes, it's often best to try them on, ideally at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit. This specific model is UK Size 12.
What material is the upper made from?
Info needed: Specific material composition for the upper is not provided in the product description. Generally, ASICS Gel-Kayano models utilize a combination of synthetic leathers and mesh for durability, breathability, and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size; consider trying them on with different sock thicknesses. Allow a short break-in period, as new shoes often need time to conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, verify your foot measurements against ASICS' size guide.
White material is easily stained or discolored.
Clean promptly after exposure to dirt using a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper stains, a specialized white shoe cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water can be applied gently with a soft brush. Regular preventative cleaning helps maintain their appearance.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch, then reinserting the insole. Ensure laces are tied securely.
