FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather construction offers some protection against light moisture, these are not waterproof shoes and should not be submerged in water.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

While they feature Gel-Kayano technology, the design is primarily focused on lifestyle and gym use rather than long-distance running performance.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The UB1-S Gel-Kayano 14 generally runs true to standard UK sizing for adult males.

What is the best way to clean the glossy overlays?

Wipe them with a damp, lint-free cloth to maintain the shine and prevent dust buildup.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The construction is standard width, but the leather materials may offer a bit more structure and potential for 'break-in' than flexible knit sneakers.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Utilize the extended rear pull tab to assist with heel entry rather than forcing the foot in, which helps protect the heel counter.

Surface scuffs on synthetic overlays

Use a soft microfiber cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently buff out superficial marks.

Pros and Cons

  • Enhanced comfort suitable for long periods of wear
  • Durable leather build quality

Cons

  • Leather material is less breathable than mesh alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your UB1-S Gel-Kayano 14, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Do not machine wash. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For leather care, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away stains.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
  4. Compatibility: This model fits true to standard ASICS sizing, providing a secure fit that pairs well with mid-weight athletic or casual socks.
