Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro athletic style and modern comfort for both running and everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in providing optimal comfort and support with advanced cushioning technology and a breathable design. A potential consideration is that the original aesthetic might not appeal to everyone seeking a minimalist design. Key features include GEL™ technology cushioning, a breathable mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays, and a durable rubber outsole.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for pronation?

The GEL-Kayano 14 is designed with neutral pronation in mind, offering balanced cushioning and support. If you have significant overpronation, you may need to consult with a specialist and consider using custom orthotics.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Gently clean the mesh upper using a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which can damage the material. Always air dry.

What is the primary purpose of the GEL-Kayano 14?

The GEL-Kayano 14 is designed for running, offering comfort and support, but its retro aesthetic also makes it suitable for everyday casual wear.

What does the 'late-2000s aesthetic' refer to?

This refers to the shoe's design elements that were popular in the late 2000s, characterized by layered materials and a specific silhouette, which this model faithfully recreates.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately wet conditions. Avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wetness.

What material is used for the overlays?

The overlays are made from synthetic leather, providing structure and durability to the shoe's upper.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit after initial wear

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and appropriate socks.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL™ cushioning may compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. For severe degradation, consider replacing the shoes or using aftermarket insoles for added support.

Traction is poor on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on very wet surfaces can be reduced. Clean the outsole to remove debris and consider alternative footwear for extremely slippery conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 comes ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for a unisex adult fit and are suitable for individuals with neutral pronation. They perform well on roads and other paved surfaces.

Care: To maintain the condition of your GEL-Kayano 14 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is advisable to store them in a shoe bag or box.
  4. Socks: Wear appropriate athletic socks to enhance comfort and hygiene.
