ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - Grey - UK 6.5

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed with a retro aesthetic, offering excellent comfort and stability for casual wear, light jogging, and gym activities. For competitive or high-mileage running, ASICS offers more specialized performance running models with different technologies tailored for those demands.

This specific pair is UK 6.5 for adults. ASICS generally runs true to size, but we recommend consulting the official ASICS size chart, measuring your foot, and considering trying them on if possible. Remember that foot size can vary slightly throughout the day.

No, machine washing is not recommended. The aggressive cycle and detergents can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Always hand clean them using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

ASICS GEL technology is a unique silicone-based cushioning system placed in key areas of the midsole (typically in the heel and forefoot). It effectively absorbs shock during impact, provides superior comfort, and helps to create a smoother transition during your stride.

The Trusstic System technology is a lightweight, molded component located under the arch of the shoe. Its main purpose is to provide enhanced stability and reduce the weight of the sole unit, while still maintaining the shoe's structural integrity and preventing excessive twisting during movement.

To prevent odors, allow your shoes to air out after each use by removing the insoles. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside (removing it before next wear) to absorb moisture and neutralize smells. Avoid storing them in damp places.

Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly; try re-lacing them for a looser, yet secure, fit. Verify you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If new, allow for a brief break-in period as materials may soften. Confirm you have the correct size by referring to ASICS' sizing guide.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture or debris caught between the sole components or external surfaces. Check the treads for small stones or grit. If the squeaking persists, it may indicate normal wear or a minor internal issue; ensure the shoes are dry after cleaning or use in wet conditions.

Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild, diluted soap to gently clean the affected areas of the mesh. Work in small circles and avoid scrubbing aggressively to prevent damage. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue, then air dry completely.
