Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or small

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 model is known to run small. Try purchasing a half or full size up from your usual size. If you have already purchased, consider if they can be stretched slightly with professional shoe stretching services, though results may vary.

Leather material creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid flexing the shoe excessively when walking and ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Discoloration of the Cream colorway

Keep the trainers away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for minor marks. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in leather goods.
