FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The GEL-Kayano 14 is a heritage running shoe reimagined for modern lifestyle wear. While it incorporates running-inspired technology like GEL cushioning, it is primarily designed for comfort and style in casual, everyday use, not for high-performance running.

How should I clean the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14?

For routine cleaning, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap on the synthetic leather and textile upper. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry completely.

What is ASICS GEL Technology?

ASICS GEL Technology is a cushioning system designed to absorb shock during impact. Strategically placed in the midsole, it helps protect your joints and provides a more comfortable experience.

What does the TRUSSTIC Support System do?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a component found in the midfoot area of the sole. Its purpose is to improve stability and prevent excessive twisting of the foot, contributing to a more controlled and supported stride.

Are these shoes true to size?

ASICS shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Can I wear these for gym workouts?

While the GEL-Kayano 14 offers good cushioning, it is best suited for light gym activities or casual training. For intense workouts or specialized gym sessions, a shoe specifically designed for that purpose might offer better support and performance.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. New shoes often require a short 'break-in' period. Check your lacing; sometimes adjusting the lace tension can improve comfort.

The shoes appear dirty or stained quickly.

Regularly clean the upper using a soft brush or damp cloth. For synthetic leather and textile materials, consider using a protective spray before wear to repel water and stains. Air dry thoroughly after cleaning.

I hear a squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. Also, check for any small debris lodged in the outsole.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • While inspired by running, it may not offer the advanced performance of modern, dedicated running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 requires no special setup. Simply unbox and wear. Ensure laces are tied securely for optimal fit and support.

Compatibility

This model is designed for adults and is considered unisex, suitable for a wide range of foot sizes. It pairs well with various casual and athleisure wear. Refer to the size guide to ensure correct fit.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your GEL-Kayano 14, gently clean the synthetic leather and textile upper with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mixed materials can be used. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regular cleaning helps preserve the aesthetic and material integrity.
