FAQs

Who is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 designed for?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is specifically designed for adult male runners who overpronate, offering enhanced stability and cushioning for long-distance running and training.

What does 'overpronation' mean in relation to these shoes?

Overpronation is a biomechanical condition where the foot rolls inward excessively after landing. The Gel-Kayano 14 provides structural support to help control this motion, promoting a more stable gait.

How do I clean my Gel-Kayano 14 shoes?

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials. Allow them to air dry.

Can someone with a neutral pronation wear these shoes?

While possible, individuals with neutral pronation might find the shoe's stability features unnecessary or even slightly restrictive. They are optimized for overpronators seeking support.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock effectively upon impact, providing a cushioned and smoother ride that reduces stress on the feet and joints.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is constructed from durable rubber, engineered to provide excellent traction and withstand the wear and tear of regular running on various surfaces.

What are the primary colors of this model?

This specific model comes in a stylish black and pure silver colorway.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If a slight adjustment is needed, consider wearing thinner socks or re-lacing the shoes for a custom fit. If the tightness is significant, exchanging for a half-size larger may be necessary.

Reduced cushioning after prolonged use

The GEL technology is designed for long-term performance, but cushioning can degrade over thousands of miles. Consider replacing the shoes if you notice a significant loss of shock absorption or support.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution on wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that might affect its performance.
