FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are designed for a standard width (D). If you have significantly wide feet, they might not provide the ideal fit. It's recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts.

How do I clean the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14?

You should hand wash these trainers using a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or brushes. Always dry them flat in the shade, never in direct sunlight or a machine dryer.

What is the main benefit of the Trusstic support system?

The Trusstic support system enhances stability by preventing excessive torsional twisting of the foot, providing a more secure and controlled stride.

Can I wear these for marathon running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support for runs, they are best suited for training runs or distances up to a half-marathon for most individuals. For elite marathon performance, specific marathon racing shoes might be more appropriate.

What does the 'late-2000s aesthetic' refer to?

This refers to the design language and visual style popular in athletic footwear from the late 2000s, characterized by specific material combinations, paneling, and silhouette features.

How long should the cushioning last?

The lifespan of the GEL cushioning depends on usage frequency, intensity, and surface. For regular runners, it's generally recommended to replace trainers every 300-500 miles or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.

What materials are primarily used in the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from 72% synthetic leather and 28% synthetic fibre, contributing to both durability and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear with appropriate socks. The shoe may require a short break-in period.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness.

The GEL cushioning may have compressed over time. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear.

Upper material appears worn or damaged.

Inspect for damage from harsh cleaning. Always follow the recommended hand-wash and air-dry method. Avoid abrasive surfaces.

Lack of stability during movement.

Confirm the Trusstic support system is intact. Ensure laces are tied securely. If significant wear is apparent, the shoe may need replacement.
