FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for running marathons?
The Gel-Kayano 14 is designed with retro aesthetics and everyday comfort in mind, featuring GEL cushioning. While they offer good support for casual wear and light activities, they are not optimized for the demands of marathon running, which typically requires specialized performance running shoes.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it to a standard UK sizing chart. Many shoe retailers provide these charts online. Trying them on in-store is the most accurate method if possible.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The trainers feature mesh and leather uppers. While the rubber outsole offers some grip, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions may affect the materials and comfort. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.
What is the main difference between Gel-Kayano 14 and other running shoes?
The Gel-Kayano 14 emphasizes a retro design and everyday comfort with GEL cushioning. More modern running shoes are often engineered with specific technologies for performance, stability, and responsiveness tailored to different running styles and distances.
How often should I clean my ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, based on wear and the level of dirt. For general maintenance after light use, a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Deep cleaning should be done less frequently to preserve the materials.
What does 'GEL' technology do?
ASICS' GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively. It is strategically placed in the midsole to reduce impact on joints and provide a softer landing during activity.
Troubleshooting
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to air trapped between layers. Try wearing them for a few days; the noise often resolves itself. If persistent, ensure the insoles are seated correctly.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, use eyelets closer to the ankle. For more room in the forefoot, loosen the lower laces. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size based on your foot measurement.
Discoloration on materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. For stubborn marks on leather, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.

Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers are designed for adult wear and are generally compatible with casual attire. They are best suited for everyday use and light athletic activities.
