FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-Kayano series has roots in performance running, the Gel-Kayano 14 is revived as a lifestyle sneaker. It offers excellent comfort and stability for daily wear and light activities, but for serious running, ASICS has more specialized current models.
What does 'GEL technology' do?
GEL technology is a cushioning system developed by ASICS that provides superior shock absorption. It's strategically placed in areas of the shoe that receive the most impact, such as the heel and forefoot, to protect joints and enhance comfort.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a component placed in the midsole of the shoe, designed to enhance stability and provide structural integrity to prevent the shoe from twisting excessively, promoting better movement control.
How environmentally friendly is the insole?
The insole is crafted using an eco-friendly solution dyeing technique. This process significantly reduces the amount of water used and carbon emissions produced during its manufacturing, contributing to a more sustainable design.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these shoes in a washing machine. The materials (synthetic and leather upper, textile lining) and construction can be damaged. Instead, clean them by hand using a soft cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
Are these shoes heavy?
The product description mentions a 'low profile' design, suggesting they are not overly bulky. Specific weight information is not provided, but the combination of advanced cushioning and support systems aims for a balanced feel for everyday wear.
What activities are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for daily casual wear, urban exploration, light fitness activities, and general lifestyle use where comfort, stability, and style are desired. They blend performance features with an iconic aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure laces are properly adjusted. Try different lacing techniques. If the issue persists, verify your foot measurements against the ASICS sizing chart as feet can change over time.
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the sole. Remove the insole, ensure both the insole and the inside of the shoe are completely dry, and then reinsert. A light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Dull appearance or stubborn dirt on upper
For synthetic and leather uppers, use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for these materials. Follow product instructions carefully. For general cleaning, a soft brush and mild soap with water can often revive the look. Avoid excessive scrubbing.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 shoes.
- Cleaning the Upper:
- For `synthetic materials` and `leather` sections, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap to gently wipe away dirt and stains.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Insole Care:
- The eco-friendly insole can be removed for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash with mild soap and air dry completely before reinserting.
- Sole Care:
- Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole for continued reliable grip.
- Storage:
- Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
