FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the GEL-Kayano series originated as a running shoe, the GEL-Kayano 14 is now primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious or performance running, more modern ASICS running shoes with specialized technologies are recommended.

How do I clean the 'Cream/Ironclad' colorway?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing vigorously, especially on the mesh parts. Air dry them away from direct heat.

What is the TRUSSTIC Support System?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a technology integrated into the midsole that provides stability, preventing the shoe from twisting excessively during movement and supporting the midfoot.

Is the sizing true to size?

ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 generally runs true to your standard UK shoe size. However, individual foot shapes vary, so trying them on if possible is always recommended for the best fit.

Can I wear these shoes in all weather conditions?

The mesh upper offers breathability, making them comfortable in warmer conditions. However, they are not waterproof and are not ideal for heavy rain or snow, which could lead to wet feet and potential damage to the materials.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For optimal comfort and breathability, we recommend wearing athletic or lifestyle socks made from moisture-wicking materials, especially for prolonged wear to manage moisture effectively.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel slightly tight initially.

The synthetic leather and mesh upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider checking your sizing to ensure it's appropriate.

The light 'Cream/Ironclad' colorway is getting dirty quickly.

Regularly clean the shoes after use with a soft brush or damp cloth to prevent dirt from setting. For tougher stains, use a sneaker-specific cleaning solution designed for synthetic materials. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing.

My feet feel hot or sweaty after extended wear.

Ensure you are wearing breathable socks. The mesh upper provides ventilation, but individual foot perspiration can vary. Consider using moisture-wicking socks to improve comfort and manage moisture effectively.

The outsole grip seems to be less effective on wet surfaces.

While the rubber outsole offers good general traction, exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, as accumulated dirt or mud can reduce grip effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your ASICS GEL-Kayano 14, select your usual UK size (e.g., UK 6 for this model). The shoe is designed for a unisex fit, accommodating a wide range of foot shapes comfortably, though some users might find it beneficial to try them on to confirm personal fit preferences. They are highly compatible with a broad spectrum of casual and semi-casual attire, from streetwear to comfortable weekend wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity and color.
  • Longevity: Rotate with other footwear to allow them to air out and extend their lifespan.
