FAQs

What is GEL™ Technology?

GEL™ Technology is a proprietary cushioning system developed by ASICS. It involves placing gel-like material in key impact areas of the shoe, typically in the heel and forefoot, to absorb shock and provide superior comfort during movement.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

The Gel-Kayano 14 revives a running shoe heritage with modern cushioning. While it offers excellent comfort and support for general activities and light running, specific performance recommendations for intense or long-distance running are not detailed. It excels as a comfortable everyday shoe.

How do I clean the textile and synthetic upper?

Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner for synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Does this shoe offer good arch support?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano series is known for providing supportive features. While specific arch support details for this model are not provided, the TRUSSTIC™ Support System contributes to the shoe's overall stability, which often aids in supporting the foot's structure.

What is the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a component typically found under the arch of ASICS shoes. It works to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the shoe's structural integrity, providing enhanced stability and preventing excessive twisting of the foot during movement.

How true to size are these shoes?

ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. It's recommended to select your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes or unsure, trying them on or consulting a size chart with foot measurements is advisable for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing. Ensure you are tying them securely but not excessively tight. Consider wearing different sock thicknesses to fine-tune the fit.

Squeaking sound while walking.

Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, a loose insole can cause squeaking. If not, try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the laces are not rubbing against the tongue.

Foot feels unstable.

Verify that the shoes are laced securely. The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is designed for stability, but an improperly laced shoe can reduce its effectiveness. If the issue persists, ensure the shoe size is correct.

Upper material appears dirty or dull.

Clean the textile and synthetic upper regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for these materials. Air dry thoroughly.

Poor grip on certain surfaces.

While the rubber outsole provides reliable grip, excessive wear on the sole treads can reduce effectiveness. Clean the outsole regularly to prevent dirt buildup from reducing traction.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent cushioning and comfort due to advanced GEL™ Technology.
  • Enhanced stability and support from the TRUSSTIC™ system.
  • Reliable traction on various surfaces with the durable rubber outsole.
  • Classic late 2000s aesthetic appeals to heritage style enthusiasts.

  • Specific performance category (e.g., distance running, trail use) is not detailed, making optimal application unclear.
  • The textile and synthetic upper, while stylish, may require specific cleaning methods to maintain appearance.
  • Retro design elements might not suit all aesthetic preferences seeking purely contemporary footwear.
  • Material information (Textile & Synthetic Upper) is specific to this variant; care might differ slightly for other material compositions in the series.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
  2. Fit Adjustment: Tighten the laces starting from the toe box upwards, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation.
  3. Knotting: Secure the laces with a double knot to prevent them from coming undone during activity.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for general-purpose wear, compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic attire. They are an adult shoe, suitable for both male and female users depending on the specific variant and fit.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Gel-Kayano 14 with its Textile & Synthetic Upper:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe dirt and debris using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner for textile and synthetic materials. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and pebbles from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out occasionally. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
