FAQs
What is GEL technology?
GEL technology refers to the silicone-based material strategically placed in the midsole of ASICS shoes to provide superior shock absorption and cushioning, enhancing comfort during wear.
What is Trusstic technology?
Trusstic technology is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to reinforce the midfoot, reducing the weight of the sole unit while providing stability and preventing the shoe from twisting during movement.
How do I clean the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14?
For cleaning, gently wipe the mesh and leather upper with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not machine wash. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gel-Kayano 14 has roots in running shoe design, offering effective cushioning and stability. While it can be used for light running, its 2000s design makes it particularly popular for casual wear and lifestyle activities where comfort and style are prioritized.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper of the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 features a combination of airy mesh for breathability and leather overlays for added structure and durability.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
ASICS shoes generally fit true to size. For the Gel-Kayano 14, we recommend selecting your usual UK size 9 for an optimal and comfortable fit.
What does the '2000s design' mean for this shoe?
The '2000s design' refers to the aesthetic and structural elements that faithfully replicate or are inspired by the original Gel-Kayano models from the early 21st century. This includes specific paneling, material choices, and overall silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct UK size 9. Loosen the laces to relieve pressure. If new, allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot. Consider trying different lacing techniques to customize the fit.
Poor grip or slipping on certain surfaces.
Check the rubber outsole for any dirt, mud, or small stones that might be reducing traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the outsole appears excessively worn, it may be time for new footwear.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes.
After wearing, ensure shoes are allowed to air out completely. Remove insoles to dry separately if they become damp. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors.
Upper material (mesh or leather) appears dirty or stained.
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently dab with a cloth moistened with mild soap and water. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid saturating the material.
