FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for wide feet?
These trainers offer a standard width fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them restrictive. It's recommended to check specific width availability or consult reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
How do I break in my new Gel-Kayano 14 trainers?
The Gel-Kayano 14, with its modern materials, typically requires minimal break-in. Start by wearing them for shorter periods and gradually increase duration. The GEL and textile materials are designed to adapt to your foot's shape relatively quickly.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is strongly advised not to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the advanced cushioning systems, adhesives, and materials, compromising the shoe's integrity and performance.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Kayano 14 and previous models?
The Gel-Kayano 14 represents a modern reinterpretation, often featuring updated materials and construction techniques for enhanced comfort and performance compared to its vintage predecessors, while retaining the core design ethos.
What surfaces are the rubber soles best suited for?
The rubber sole is designed to provide good traction on a variety of common running surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, and moderately groomed trails. It offers a balance of grip and durability.
What does the TRUSSTIC system do?
The TRUSSTIC system is a plastic component located in the midfoot area that provides extra stability by controlling the torsional rigidity of the shoe. It helps prevent excessive inward rolling of the foot (pronation) during the gait cycle.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size larger or consulting the sizing chart.
Reduced cushioning or bounce over time.
The GEL cushioning may degrade with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of running or when cushioning feels noticeably diminished.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The rubber sole provides good traction on most surfaces, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Upper material showing wear and tear.
Inspect the upper for any fraying or tears. Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth. For significant damage, repair may not be feasible.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic leather and textile upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
