Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro athletic style and modern comfort. Its key benefit lies in the signature GEL cushioning and supportive structure, offering a heritage runner feel for everyday wear. A potential consideration is that while inspired by late-2000s aesthetics, the fit might require adjustment for those unfamiliar with this specific design era. This trainer features a mesh upper with synthetic overlays, the TRUSSTIC Support System for stability, and a durable rubber outsole.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the GEL-KAYANO 14?

The main benefit is the combination of retro aesthetics from the late 2000s with modern comfort enhancements, including GEL cushioning and the TRUSSTIC Support System for stability.

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While they offer good cushioning and support, the GEL-KAYANO 14 is primarily designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized shoes offering advanced support and cushioning might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the shoes in water.

What does the TRUSSTIC Support System do?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is located in the midfoot and helps to provide stability by controlling pronation (the inward rolling of the foot) without adding excessive stiffness.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of mesh, complemented by synthetic overlays for added structure and support.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

What is the inspiration behind the GEL-KAYANO 14 design?

The design is inspired by the original ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 from 2008, reviving its late-2000s athletic aesthetic with updated materials and construction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider using the extra eyelets for a more customized lacing pattern. If the tightness persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit.

Reduced cushioning effect

The GEL cushioning may take a few wears to adapt to your foot. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished over time, it could indicate wear and tear, and replacement may be necessary.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur if parts of the shoe rub together or if moisture is trapped. Try ensuring the laces are properly tied and that the insoles are seated correctly. If the noise persists, consult care instructions for cleaning and drying.

Compatibility: The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 is designed as a versatile trainer suitable for a wide range of users. While offering support features, they are generally recommended for daily wear and light athletic activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. For specific activities like marathon running or high-impact sports, consulting with a footwear specialist is advised.

Care: To maintain the condition of your GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
