ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 - White - UK 4

ASICS GEL technology is a proprietary cushioning system made from a silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the midsole. It's designed to absorb shock during impact, provide excellent cushioning, and allow for a smoother transition during movement.

While the GEL-KAYANO 14 originated as a high-performance running shoe in 2008, the current iteration is primarily positioned as a lifestyle sneaker. It offers excellent cushioning and support for all-day comfort, casual wear, and light activities, but it is not optimized for dedicated competitive or long-distance running compared to modern performance running shoes.

To clean the white mesh, gently wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of mild soap and water. You can use a soft-bristle brush (like an old toothbrush) for stubborn spots. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing too hard, which can damage the material. Always let them air dry naturally.

The TRUSSTIC system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide stability, reduce the overall weight of the sole unit, and maintain the shoe's structural integrity during movement, preventing excessive twisting.

The upper of the GEL-KAYANO 14 is constructed from a combination of high-quality textile (specifically breathable mesh) and durable synthetic leather panelling.

ASICS typically maintains consistent sizing across its range. However, fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. It's always recommended to refer to ASICS' official size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes.

Check your lacing for tightness and consistency. Replace worn insoles with new ones if they show signs of compression or damage, as this can significantly restore comfort and support. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Clean the upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For white mesh, a gentle cleaning solution specifically designed for athletic shoes can help restore brightness. Avoid abrasive brushes on the mesh.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. A light sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can also sometimes help reduce friction and eliminate squeaking. If the squeak persists, it might be due to a defect in the sole, in which case contact customer support.
