FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed as a running shoe that offers comfort, support, and shock absorption, while also featuring a retro style popular in the late 2000s that lends itself to casual wear.
What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?
The TRUSSTIC support system provides midfoot integrity, helping to prevent excessive twisting of the foot and offering stability during the gait cycle.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 shoes?
Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. The midsole and outsole can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify width options. It is recommended to try them on if possible or check for specific width availability from the retailer.
What is the main difference between this and newer Gel-Kayano models?
This model specifically revives the aesthetic of the late 2000s, whereas newer models incorporate more contemporary design and the latest running technology advancements from ASICS.
Can these shoes be worn for marathon training?
Yes, the GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC system provide support and shock absorption suitable for marathon training, especially on road surfaces. However, personal preference and foot type are key factors.
What does the 'Pure Silver' in the name refer to?
Pure Silver refers to the secondary color accent used on the shoe, particularly seen in the ASICS logo and other design elements, complementing the primary black color.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If new, allow for a short break-in period. Consider wearing thinner socks.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity but may feel less pronounced after extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper care can help maintain performance.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction between shoe components. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. A light dusting of baby powder inside can sometimes help.
Difficulty cleaning mesh
Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) with mild soap and water to gently work dirt out of the mesh areas. Rinse carefully and allow to air dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Combines retro style with modern comfort and materials.
- Excellent breathability thanks to the mesh upper.
- Provides reliable support and shock absorption.
- Versatile for both running and casual wear.
- Durable construction with synthetic leather overlays.
Cons
- The late 2000s design might not appeal to everyone.
- May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult male and unisex wearers. Designed primarily for road running, but compatible with casual wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic leather with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
