FAQs

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?

The GEL technology is integrated into the midsole to provide exceptional shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during movement and offering a softer feel.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running or marathon training?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning and support, they are not optimized for high-intensity or long-distance competitive running.

How does the Trusstic system contribute to the shoe's performance?

The Trusstic system provides midfoot structural integrity. It helps to control pronation (inward rolling of the foot) and enhances overall stability without adding excessive stiffness.

Can I wear these trainers with orthopedic insoles?

Yes, the trainers typically have a removable sockliner, allowing space for custom or orthopedic insoles. Ensure the insole fits snugly and comfortably within the shoe.

How should I care for the Jasper Green accents?

The Jasper Green accents are part of the shoe's design. Clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the color or material.

Is this model a direct update to a previous Gel-Kayano model?

The Gel-Kayano 14 is a re-release of an original 2008 model, featuring its iconic tooling and design, updated with modern materials and colorways.

What does 'Metropolis' refer to in the product name?

'Metropolis' refers to the specific colorway, characterized by its dark gray base with metallic silver and Jasper Green accents, evoking an urban aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or loose

Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and compare with your current footwear. Consider trying a half-size up or down if unsure. The fit can also improve slightly with wear as the shoe breaks in.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Wear with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot type or intended activity.

Leather accents scuffing or showing wear

Clean gently with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. For minor scuffs, colored shoe polish matching the leather shade might help.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking the entire shoe, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males looking for lifestyle or light training footwear. Compatible with casual wear like jeans, shorts, and tracksuits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, avoiding excessive water. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  2. Materials: The leather accents should be treated periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid exposing the shoes to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain shape and protect from dust.
