FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed with GEL technology for cushioning and stability, making it excellent for daily wear and light training. However, for marathon running, specialized marathon shoes offering specific performance and support features are generally recommended.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

For the mesh sections, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

What is the Trusstic system?

The Trusstic system is a molded component located under the midfoot arch. It provides torsional stability, helping to control the foot's motion and offering structural support.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to protect the materials and maintain comfort.

What does 'Metropolis Grey' and 'Jasper Green' refer to?

'Metropolis Grey' is the primary color of the shoe's upper and sole, while 'Jasper Green' refers to the accent colors found on specific parts of the shoe, like the branding or certain overlay details.

What is the main difference between this retro model and modern running shoes?

This model revives the aesthetic and core technologies of the 2008 version. Modern running shoes often incorporate newer, lighter materials and more advanced, specialized cushioning systems tailored for specific running disciplines.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both surfaces are dry and clean, and then reinserting the insole firmly.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Over time, the GEL cushioning can compress. Ensure the shoes are used within their intended capacity and consider replacing them if significant wear is visible.

Material discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean the shoes gently with a damp cloth rather than harsh chemicals.
