Full details
The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro athletic style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a durable, breathable upper with advanced GEL™ cushioning for shock absorption. A potential caveat is that while they offer good support, they are primarily lifestyle-oriented, not specialized for high-performance running.

FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 suitable for running?
While the GEL-Kayano 14 retains performance features from its running heritage and offers excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday trainer. For high-performance or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes from ASICS might be more appropriate.
What is the main benefit of the GEL™ technology?
The GEL™ technology in the midsole is designed to provide exceptional shock absorption, protecting your joints from impact and offering a soft, comfortable feel with every step.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricting. Trying them on later in the day, when feet are slightly swollen, can help ensure a comfortable fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The trainers offer some protection due to their materials, but they are not waterproof. Avoid excessive exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces, as this can affect the materials and their performance. Ensure they are properly dried if they get damp.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ system do?
The TRUSSTIC™ system is a supportive component located in the midfoot. It enhances stability and helps control pronation, providing lateral support during movement.
How should I clean the mesh parts of the upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. For tougher dirt, a very mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 Trainers are designed to be unisex, suitable for both men and women, with sizing typically available in standard adult foot sizes.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning both the insole and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The GEL™ cushioning is designed for durability, but its performance can be affected by heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not used for activities beyond their intended purpose and follow care instructions to maintain material integrity.
Discomfort on the sides of the feet
The TRUSSTIC™ system and overlays offer structure. If you experience discomfort, ensure the laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight, to allow for natural foot movement within the shoe's supportive frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you lace them correctly for a secure and comfortable fit.
Compatibility: The GEL-Kayano 14 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for adult foot sizes. It's compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt from the mesh and synthetic leather. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the GEL™ technology or rubber.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild detergent.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
