FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for intense running performance.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers are noted to run true to size. We recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to the ASICS sizing chart, or trying them on if possible, to ensure the best fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
While the product description mentions 'Machine wash cold, tumble dry low', it's generally best to avoid machine washing footwear. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and hand-washing the removable sockliner are recommended for maintaining the shoe's integrity.
What materials are the shoes made from?
The trainers feature a combination of leather and mesh for the upper, providing both durability and breathability. The sole is typically made of rubber.
Can I replace the sockliner with my own orthotics?
Yes, the sockliner is removable, making it compatible with most custom orthotics or insoles.
What is the 'retro-futuristic' style?
This refers to a design that blends elements from past eras (retro) with a forward-looking, modern aesthetic (futuristic). The Gel-Kayano 14 often incorporates classic running shoe silhouettes with updated materials and design details.
How should I clean the leather parts?
Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild leather cleaner, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the leather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure the sockliner is properly seated. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe needs a brief break-in period.
Uneven wear on soles
This could indicate an improper gait. Consult a footwear specialist for analysis. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (casual wear).
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the sockliner is correctly positioned and dry. If discomfort persists, consider trying the shoes with different socks or exploring custom orthotics if foot-specific issues are suspected.
