FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear, walking, and light training. For marathon running, it is recommended to use specialized running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not tight.

What does the 'Trusstic system' do?

The Trusstic system is a molded component located under the midfoot. It enhances stability by providing torsional rigidity, preventing excessive twisting of the foot and supporting the arch.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect performance and longevity.

What makes the dyeing process sustainable?

The sockliner utilizes a dyeing process that significantly reduces water consumption compared to conventional methods, contributing to a more environmentally friendly production.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is constructed from durable rubber compounds designed for reliable traction and wear resistance, suitable for the intended use of casual wear and light training.

What is the difference between the Gel-Kayano 14 and other models?

The Gel-Kayano 14 specifically revives the aesthetic and tooling of the 2008 model, focusing on retro design elements combined with established GEL and Trusstic technologies for comfort and stability. Newer models may feature updated designs and technologies.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.

Reduced cushioning over time

GEL technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but excessive wear can reduce its effectiveness. For best results, use for intended activities and allow shoes to rest between wears.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight during wear.

Slight color transfer from green accents

This is rare but can occur with new shoes in damp conditions. Allow the shoes to dry completely. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until color transfer is no longer an issue.
