FAQs
What type of running are these shoes best for?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is best suited for road running and treadmill use, especially for individuals who need stability and support due to overpronation. They are also comfortable for long periods of standing or walking.
How does FluidFit technology work?
FluidFit is an upper construction technology that uses elastic materials designed to stretch in specific directions, adapting to the wearer's foot for a personalized, glove-like fit.
Is the Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for neutral runners?
While the Gel-Kayano series is known for stability, the Gel-Kayano 14 can be used by neutral runners who prefer a more cushioned and supportive shoe. However, runners who need significant stability features will benefit the most.
What is the main difference between Gel cushioning and FlyteFoam?
Gel cushioning is strategically placed to absorb shock upon impact, while FlyteFoam is a midsole material that provides lightweight, responsive cushioning and durability throughout the entire midsole.
How do I know if I overpronate?
Overpronation is when your foot rolls inward excessively after landing. Signs can include uneven wear on the inside edge of your shoes. It's best to consult a running specialist or podiatrist for a professional assessment.
Can these trainers be worn for casual everyday use?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 can be worn for casual everyday use due to their comfort and cushioning. Their athletic design is also a popular style choice.
What is the colour scheme of this specific UK size 13 variant?
This specific variant is described as White and Grey, with silver overlays and green gel units visible in the midsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct UK size 13. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. The FluidFit technology may require a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
Over time, cushioning can degrade. If performance feels diminished after significant use, consider replacement. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect cushioning.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the outsole is designed for grip, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear athletic trainers. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly.
Compatibility: Ideal for road running, treadmill use, and general fitness activities. The stability features make them particularly suitable for runners who overpronate. They are designed for adult male foot anatomy.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the exterior. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
