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.
