FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While inspired by a running icon and featuring excellent cushioning, the Gel-Kayano 14 'Oyster White Steeple Grey' is primarily designed for daily comfort, casual wear, and light activities. For competitive or high-mileage running, ASICS offers other models specifically engineered for those demands.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Gel-Kayano 14 features a unisex regular fit. We recommend referring to the ASICS official sizing chart and measuring your foot to find the most accurate size. Ensure about a thumb's width space at the toe and a secure heel fit.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, glues, and overall structure. Please follow the care instructions provided: wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is GEL technology?
GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary silicone-based cushioning system placed in key areas of the sole. It effectively absorbs shock during impact, providing excellent comfort and reducing strain on your joints during movement.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability, reduce the shoe's weight, and prevent excessive torsion or twisting during motion, thereby improving support.
Are these shoes breathable?
The synthetic upper construction is designed to offer a balance of durability and breathability, allowing for some airflow to keep your feet comfortable during everyday wear and light activities. Info needed: [Specific breathability rating or comparison]
Is the 'regular fit' suitable for wide feet?
The 'regular fit' is generally designed for average foot widths. If you typically require wide-fit shoes, these may feel snug. We recommend trying them on or consulting a sizing guide that includes width measurements if available. Info needed: [Availability of wide-fit variants]
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques to customize the fit around your midfoot and ankle. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying half a size up or down if discomfort persists.
Squeaking sound while walking
Often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insoles. If the issue persists, the outsole might be wet, which can cause squeaking on certain surfaces.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning materials can compress with extended use. While the GEL technology is durable, consider the age and mileage of your shoes. For optimal performance and comfort, shoes generally need replacement after 300-500 miles of use or after about 1-2 years, depending on activity level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started:
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed for immediate comfort and requires no complex setup. Simply unlace the shoes, slide your feet in, and lace them up to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure laces are snug but not overtightened to allow for natural foot movement.
Compatibility:
These shoes feature a unisex regular fit, meaning they are designed to accommodate a broad range of foot sizes and shapes for both men and women. When selecting your size, refer to standard ASICS sizing charts to ensure the best fit. Your toes should have about a thumb's width of space from the end of the shoe, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.
Care and Maintenance:
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the appearance of your Gel-Kayano 14 shoes.
- Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic upper, gently wipe away dirt and grime with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage materials. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to remove dirt, pebbles, and mud from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Air dry them at room temperature.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and adhesives.
