FAQs

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

While the Gel-Kayano 14 offers excellent cushioning and support derived from its running shoe heritage, it has been reinterpreted for modern streetwear. For serious marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes from ASICS might offer more specialized features.

What is the main benefit of the GEL™ cushioning?

The GEL™ cushioning technology is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a soft landing and reducing stress on your joints. This translates to greater comfort during wear.

How do I clean the synthetic leather and mesh upper?

For the synthetic leather and mesh, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the materials and structure.

Is this shoe good for people with flat feet?

The TRUSSTIC™ system provides stability, which can be beneficial for many foot types. However, individual needs vary, and consulting with a podiatrist or footwear specialist for personalized advice is recommended.

What does the retro silhouette mean for style?

The retro silhouette refers to the classic design elements from the original Gel-Kayano 14 running shoe, which have been updated to fit current fashion trends. This gives the shoe a distinctive, vintage-inspired look that is popular in streetwear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers feature a rubber outsole for traction, but the breathable mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks and allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit.

Reduced cushioning or support over time

The GEL cushioning and midsole materials may degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant loss of comfort or support is noted after prolonged wear.

Traction is poor on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. Exercise caution when walking or running on wet or slippery conditions, as grip may be reduced.
