FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Gel-Kayano 14?

The primary benefit is the combination of responsive Gel cushioning in the heel and the Trusstic system for enhanced stability, providing comfort and support for everyday wear.

How does the Trusstic system work?

The Trusstic system is a plastic component located in the midfoot sole that provides stability and reduces the amount of twisting of the sole, thus helping to control pronation.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While it offers cushioning and support, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For serious running, ASICS offers dedicated running shoe models.

What does 'Metropolis Jasper Green' refer to?

'Metropolis' refers to the dark grey color of the mesh, while 'Jasper Green' indicates the bright green accents found on the branding and midsole.

How does the water-conscious sock liner benefit the environment?

The sock liner is produced using a dyeing method that reduces water consumption by up to 33%, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

Who designed this specific version of the Gel-Kayano 14?

While inspired by heritage models, this particular version of the Gel-Kayano 14 was not designed by the original creator, Toshikazu Kayano.

What is the material of the overlays?

The overlays are made of leather, providing structure and a premium aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the sole

This may indicate an issue with gait. Consider the Trusstic system's function and ensure the shoe is the correct size. Consult with a footwear specialist if persistent.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The Gel technology may have compressed. Gentle cleaning of the sole and midsole can sometimes restore feel. For significant degradation, replacement may be necessary.

Discoloration of mesh or leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no setup. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready for wear.

Compatibility:

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed as a unisex adult footwear. It is compatible with various athletic and casual wear. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials or colors.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure no debris is lodged in the tread.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash separately with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
