FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
While the GEL cushioning provides excellent shock absorption for running, the Gel-Kayano 14 is designed for a blend of performance and retro style. For dedicated marathon training, consider models specifically optimized for long-distance racing, though these can certainly handle shorter to mid-distance runs comfortably.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
The trainers have a standard D-width fit. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The synthetic leather and textile upper offers some protection, but the trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.
What does the Trusstic support system do?
The Trusstic support system is a molded component in the midsole that provides stability by preventing excessive twisting or torsion of the foot. This helps maintain the structural integrity of the shoe and supports your gait.
How often should I clean my Gel-Kayano 14 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, based on wear and dirt accumulation. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain their appearance between deeper cleans.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Kayano 14 and newer models?
The Gel-Kayano 14 features a distinct late 2000s retro design and specific cushioning/support technologies from that era. Newer models often incorporate updated materials, more advanced cushioning systems, and contemporary design aesthetics.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or replacement insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Ensure the GEL units are clean and free from debris. Over time, cushioning may naturally reduce; consider replacement if significantly diminished.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lace tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the width or shape may not be ideal for your foot.
Material damage after cleaning
Strictly follow the hand-wash and air-dry instructions. Avoid machine washing, harsh chemicals, and heat drying.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash the trainers using a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh brushes or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
