FAQs
Do the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 fit true to size?
No, the Gel-Kayano 14 is known to run small. It is highly recommended to order at least half a size larger than your usual shoe size for a comfortable and accurate fit.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they were originally designed as running shoes and incorporate GEL technology for impact absorption and a TRUSSTIC support system for stability, making them suitable for various running activities.
How should I clean my Gel-Kayano 14 shoes?
To clean, gently wipe the synthetic upper and mesh panels with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is GEL technology?
GEL technology is a cushioning system developed by ASICS. It uses a silicone-based material strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock, reduce impact, and provide a softer, more comfortable feel during movement.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability, reduce the overall weight of the sole unit, and help control torsion, ensuring a more stable and efficient stride.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed as a unisex shoe, making it suitable for both men and women.
What materials are the shoes made from?
The shoes feature a synthetic upper with breathable mesh panels and a durable rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
The Gel-Kayano 14 often runs small. Ensure you ordered at least half a size up. If not, consider exchanging for a larger size. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet.
Foot discomfort or lack of support during activity
Verify that the laces are tied securely to provide adequate foot stability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. While the shoe offers excellent support, individual foot needs vary; consider if additional arch support or insoles are required for your specific foot type.
Squeaking sound while walking
Sometimes squeaking can occur if there's moisture inside the shoe, or if the insole is rubbing against the shoe's interior. Remove the insole, clean both the insole and the inside of the shoe, ensure they are completely dry, and reinsert. A light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Shoes seem to lose cushioning quickly
While GEL technology is durable, excessive or extreme use can compress cushioning over time. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended purpose. If you're a high-mileage runner, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to extend their lifespan. Regular cleaning and proper storage can also help maintain material integrity.
