ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 - Graphite Grey - 8.5

While the GEL-Kayano series has a strong running heritage, the GEL-Kayano 14 'Graphite Grey' model is specifically reinterpreted for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers excellent comfort and shock absorption for daily activities and light exercise, but it is not optimized for high-performance or competitive running.

To clean your shoes, gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel strategically placed in the midsole. It is designed to absorb shock during impact and provide superior comfort, helping to protect your joints and enhance your stride.

Generally, ASICS GEL-Kayano 14s are considered to fit true to size. However, foot shapes can vary. It's always recommended to try them on or refer to a size chart if unsure.

The upper is made of textile and synthetic leather, which offers some basic protection against light moisture. However, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to maintain their condition and comfort.

The upper of the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 is constructed from a combination of high-quality textile material for breathability and durable synthetic leather for support and varied texture.

Ensure you have the correct size. While generally true to size, foot shape can vary. Try adjusting the lacing to be less restrictive. Allow a brief break-in period, as new shoes can feel stiff initially.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe, and reinserting it. A thin layer of baby powder under the insole can also help.

The textile and synthetic leather upper can attract dirt. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth as per the care instructions. Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for these materials to help repel water and stains.

Try a double knot for extra security. Ensure the laces are properly tightened across the foot, not just at the top. You can also explore different lacing techniques that offer better knot retention.
