FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 suitable for actual running?

While the GEL-Kayano 14 originated as a running shoe and features performance technology, this specific iteration is primarily marketed and styled for contemporary street fashion and casual wear. For serious or performance running, dedicated modern running shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow suede to air dry completely.

What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?

The GEL cushioning technology provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and enhancing overall comfort during prolonged wear.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

This specific listing is for a men's UK size 11. ASICS often offers similar models in women's sizing; check for specific product variations if needed.

How should I store my GEL-Kayano 14 trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag is also recommended.

What does 'retro runner silhouette' mean?

It refers to a design inspired by the aesthetics and shapes of running shoes from past eras, in this case, the late 2000s, offering a nostalgic yet modern look.

Is the mesh upper waterproof?

The mesh upper is designed for breathability, allowing air to pass through. It is not waterproof and will likely allow water to penetrate in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. If still tight, consider that the shoe may need a break-in period, or it might not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for long-term durability, but its responsiveness may decrease with extensive wear. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain its integrity.

Discomfort in the heel or arch

Ensure the laces are appropriately tied for a secure but not overly tight fit. Consider if the shoe's support matches your foot's needs; aftermarket insoles might offer additional support if required.
