FAQs

What materials are the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 sneakers made from?

These sneakers are crafted from durable synthetic leather for the upper and resilient rubber for the outsole, providing a balance of style and longevity.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or intense workouts?

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light daily activities, prioritizing comfort and style. While they feature GEL cushioning, for specific running or high-intensity training, ASICS offers other models tailored for those purposes.

How do I determine the correct size for my GEL-Kayano 14 sneakers?

We recommend referring to the official ASICS size chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches. If possible, try them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, allowing a thumb's width of space at the toe.

What is the purpose of ASICS GEL Technology in these shoes?

The integrated ASICS GEL Technology is designed to provide advanced cushioning and shock absorption. It helps to attenuate impact during various movements, contributing to a more comfortable experience for your feet, especially during extended wear.

Can I put my ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 sneakers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. The harsh agitation and detergents can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section of this guide.

How do I maintain the multicolor appearance?

To preserve the multicolor appearance, avoid exposing your sneakers to harsh chemicals or excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can cause fading. Regular gentle cleaning with mild soap and water will help keep them looking fresh.

Troubleshooting

My new GEL-Kayano 14 sneakers feel a bit stiff or uncomfortable.

This is common with new footwear. Allow for a short 'break-in' period by wearing them for shorter durations initially. Ensure you have the correct size and are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, check if the lacing is too tight.

The synthetic leather upper looks dirty or stained.

Gently clean the affected areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Blot dry immediately. For stubborn stains, a specialized synthetic leather cleaner might be necessary, following product instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.

My feet feel hot or sweaty in the shoes.

Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks, which can help draw sweat away from your feet. After use, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and odors.

The shoes are making a squeaking noise when I walk.

Check the outsole for any small pebbles or debris lodged in the tread. Sometimes, a new insole rubbing against the shoe's interior can cause a squeak; try dusting a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.

Compatibility

  • Sizing: These sneakers are available in adult men's sizes, including EU 43 (UK 9.5). Always refer to the ASICS size chart for precise measurements, as sizing can vary between brands.
  • Footwear: Compatible with standard athletic socks, which can enhance comfort and manage moisture.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-Kayano 14 sneakers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For synthetic leather, gently wipe down the surface with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and midsole.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp or crack.
  4. Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb odors.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can protect them from dust.
