FAQs
What type of activities are these shoes best suited for?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is ideal for everyday wear, casual outings, and light to moderate urban activities where comfort, stability, and style are desired. Its GEL technology and TRUSSTIC system provide support for walking and standing for extended periods.
How does the eco-friendly insole benefit the environment?
The insole is manufactured using an ecological solution dyeing technology. This process significantly reduces the amount of water used and carbon dioxide emissions generated during its production, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing footprint.
Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?
With synthetic and leather uppers and textile lining, these shoes offer moderate breathability. They are generally suitable for most seasons but might not be ideal for extreme heat or very heavy rain without additional waterproofing.
What is GEL technology and how does it work?
GEL technology is a cushioning system developed by ASICS. It uses a silicone-based gel in the midsole to absorb shock during impact, protecting your joints and providing a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off.
What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology integrated into the midsole that helps to stabilize the foot, preventing excessive twisting and promoting more controlled movement. This enhances overall stability and reduces the risk of injury.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
ASICS shoes generally run true to size, but it's always recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the official ASICS size chart. If unsure, consider trying them on or consulting a size guide specific to Gel-Kayano models.
Can I use these shoes for serious running or sports?
While they offer excellent cushioning and stability, the Gel-Kayano 14, particularly this retro-inspired model, is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. For serious running or specific sports, ASICS offers other models specifically engineered for those demanding activities.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or not properly supported.
Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the lacing system to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. Consider trying different lacing techniques for enhanced arch support or heel lock if needed. Ensure socks are appropriate.
The shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Check the rubber sole for dirt or debris accumulation. Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore grip. If the sole appears excessively worn, it may be time to consider replacement footwear.
There's a squeaking sound when I walk.
This is often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior or moisture. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If the issue persists, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure shoes are completely dry inside.
The shoes look dirty and the colors are dull.
Regular cleaning is key. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of leather/synthetic shoe cleaner. For deeper stains on leather, specialized leather cleaner may be necessary. Always air dry.

Setting up your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 primarily involves lacing them securely to achieve a comfortable and supportive fit. These shoes are designed for adults and are unisex, making them compatible for a broad range of users. For care and maintenance, the upper is made from synthetic material and leather, with a textile lining. To keep your shoes in optimal condition:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the synthetic and leather uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the textile lining, a gentle brush can help remove dirt.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity and color.
- Insole Care: The eco-friendly insole can be removed and air-dried if it becomes damp, helping to maintain freshness.
