Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers are designed for adults seeking superior comfort and stability for both running and daily wear. Their key benefit lies in excellent shock absorption thanks to GEL cushioning and a breathable mesh upper. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are constructed from polyester, which may affect breathability in very high temperatures compared to other materials.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning in the midsole is designed to provide superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during running and walking.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The description specifies a standard fit. While the lace-up closure allows for adjustment, individuals with very wide feet may need to consider trying them on or looking for models specifically designed for wider widths.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the main material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from breathable mesh, with polyester elements contributing to the overall durability.
How should I care for the polyester material?
Polyester is generally durable. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the shoes air dry naturally and avoid high heat to prevent damage to the material.
Are these trainers good for marathon running?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for running, suitability for marathons depends on individual preference and training. They are ideal for regular running and daily wear, providing significant comfort and stability.
What sizes are available?
This specific product listing is for UK Adult Foot size 4.5 and UK Children Foot size 3. Other sizes and color variants are available separately.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers. Try removing the insoles and allowing the shoes to air dry completely. If the noise persists, check for debris inside the shoe.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The GEL cushioning may lose some of its responsiveness after extensive use. Ensure you are following care instructions to maintain material integrity. Consider replacing the insoles if they are worn out.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. Check for any internal seams or stitching that might be causing irritation.
