FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for running marathons?

The Gel-Kayano 14 offers excellent cushioning and support for general running and walking. For competitive marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes with specific features might be more suitable, but these trainers provide a solid foundation for many runners.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot at the end of the day when feet are typically slightly larger. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

What makes the Solution Dyed insole environmentally friendly?

Solution dyeing significantly reduces water consumption and CO2 emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods, making the manufacturing process more sustainable.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderate conditions. For heavy rain, water-resistant footwear is recommended.

What is the primary difference between this model and older Gel-Kayano versions?

The Gel-Kayano 14 updates the series with a more pronounced retro 2000s aesthetic while retaining and enhancing the core GEL™ cushioning technology for improved comfort and performance over its predecessors.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after strenuous activity or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The Gel-Kayano 14 is known for providing good overall support, including moderate arch support, thanks to its design and GEL™ cushioning system. However, individuals with very high arches or specific support needs may benefit from adding custom insoles.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

This is normal for new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.

Foot fatigue during long periods of wear

Ensure you have the correct size and consider using specialized insoles if you have specific arch support needs. Check that the laces are tied appropriately.

Reduced cushioning over time

While GEL™ cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can lessen with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after significant mileage or wear.

Creasing on the upper

Some creasing is natural with leather and mesh materials as they flex. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
