FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-Kayano 14 originated as a running shoe, its current iteration is more focused on comfort and style for everyday wear. For dedicated, high-performance running, ASICS offers other models specifically designed for that purpose. These are best for casual walking and light activity.
How do I choose the correct size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length and refer to the official ASICS sizing chart. Pay attention to both length and width. If you're between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesive. Always hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry.
What kind of socks should I wear with them?
For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, moisture-wicking athletic socks are a good choice. However, any comfortable casual sock will work well with these trainers for everyday use.
Are these trainers durable?
Yes, ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are built with quality materials designed for regular use. With proper care and maintenance, they offer good durability for daily wear.
Is the GEL cushioning noticeable?
Yes, the GEL cushioning technology is a prominent feature that provides a noticeable level of shock absorption and comfort, particularly beneficial during walking and standing for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that laces are not tied too tightly. Give the shoes a few wears to break in. If discomfort persists, consider checking your foot measurements against ASICS' sizing guide.
My feet feel hot or sweaty.
While the trainers feature breathable mesh, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the shoes are clean, as dirt can block mesh pores. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.
The trainers are getting dirty quickly.
Regular light cleaning prevents dirt build-up. For prevention, consider applying a shoe protector spray designed for mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid wearing them in excessively muddy or dirty conditions if maintaining pristine appearance is a priority.
Soles are squeaking.
A squeaking sound can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's base, or moisture trapped underneath. Try removing and re-inserting the insoles. A light sprinkle of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes resolve this. Ensure soles are dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup & Fit:
- Unboxing: Remove your new ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers from their packaging.

Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for adult wearers. The UK 3 size is specifically for smaller adult feet, aligning with a female gender preference as per product attributes. They are compatible with various socks, from athletic performance socks to everyday casual options.
Care & Maintenance:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub visible dirt from the mesh and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh and synthetic materials can be used.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air out the shoes. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.
