ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 Trainers Cream/Blue Coast UK 8.5

The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 is primarily a lifestyle trainer. While they offer good cushioning and support for casual wear and light activities, they are not designed for high-performance or long-distance running.

Refer to the product's size chart or measure your foot length and compare it to the provided UK sizing. For this specific model, the UK 8.5 corresponds to a US 9.5.

The TRUSSTIC support unit is located in the midfoot and provides stability by controlling torsion (twisting) of the shoe, helping to prevent excessive pronation and support the arch.

The sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process, which significantly reduces water consumption and carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods.

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

The upper combines breathable mesh with durable synthetic leather overlays, offering both ventilation and structural integrity.

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a few hours. The materials may stretch slightly with use. Consider if a half-size larger would be more comfortable if tightness persists.

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized shoe cleaner for leather and mesh can be used. Ensure to test on an inconspicuous area first.

While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing older trainers used frequently for athletic activities.
