FAQs

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

While the GEL technology provides cushioning, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes with more advanced performance features.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should allow your foot to rest comfortably without feeling pinched.

What is the 'Trusstic System'?

The Trusstic System is a molded component located under the midfoot that provides support and stability, helping to prevent unwanted twisting of the foot and enhancing structural integrity.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Hand clean them according to the care instructions provided.

What does 'Metropolis' and 'Jasper Green' refer to?

'Metropolis' refers to the dark grey base color of the shoe, while 'Jasper Green' indicates the specific shade of green used for accent details.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 model has been released in various colorways over time. You may find other color options available through different retailers or past collections.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology cushioning system is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact and provide a smoother transition from landing to toe-off, enhancing overall comfort.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try loosening the laces slightly or ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes, especially those with supportive structures, may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot.

Scuff marks on leather overlays

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, a leather conditioner or a specialized shoe cleaner designed for leather can be used cautiously.

Mesh appears dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using abrasive materials.
