FAQs

What is ASICS GEL technology?

ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel placed in strategic areas of the midsole. Its purpose is to absorb shock and dissipate impact forces, providing a softer landing and smoother transition during movement, ultimately enhancing comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for competitive running?

While the Gel-Kayano series has roots in performance running, the Gel-Kayano 14 specifically reinterprets a classic design with a focus on both comfort and style for everyday wear and light running. For serious competitive running or specific performance needs, ASICS offers other models tailored for those activities.

How do I clean the faux leather and mesh on these trainers?

For faux leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For mesh, use a soft brush to remove dirt, and a damp cloth for surface cleaning. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What materials are these ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers made from?

The trainers feature an upper made of faux leather and mesh for a combination of support and breathability, a textile lining for comfort, and a durable rubber sole for traction.

Is the sizing true to fit for ASICS Gel-Kayano 14?

ASICS sizing is generally considered true to fit for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary, so if you are unsure, it is always recommended to refer to ASICS' official size guide or try them on.

Can these trainers be worn for everyday casual use?

Yes, absolutely. The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are designed with a stylish late 2000s aesthetic and exceptional comfort, making them an excellent choice for daily casual wear, city exploration, and pairing with various casual outfits.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. New trainers may require a brief 'break-in' period. If discomfort persists, consider checking your sock thickness or consulting a footwear specialist for fit advice.

Shoes get dirty quickly, especially the white areas.

Regularly clean your trainers after use. For white surfaces, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for sneakers or a mixture of baking soda and mild detergent can help lift stains. Use a soft brush for mesh and a damp cloth for faux leather.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Check if the insoles are properly seated within the shoe, as a shifting insole can cause squeaking. Sometimes, new rubber outsoles can squeak on certain floor types; this typically diminishes with wear. If it persists, check for any trapped debris between the sole and upper.

Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. General Cleaning: Gently wipe down the faux leather and mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Stain Removal: Address stains promptly. For mesh, use a soft brush to dislodge dirt. For faux leather, a specialized faux leather cleaner may be beneficial.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, as these can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
  5. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the adhesives and internal cushioning.
