How do I determine my correct size?

Can I machine wash my ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and cushioning. For cleaning, gently hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry.
What is the primary material of the upper?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's width or arch support matches your foot's needs.
Foot odor develops after use.
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Squeaking sound when walking/running.
Check if the insoles are properly seated or if they are loose. Sometimes, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can resolve the issue. If it's from the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.
Laces constantly come undone.
Try using a double knot technique. Ensure laces are pulled taut but not excessively tight across the top of your foot. If issues persist, consider replacing the laces with a different material.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If the cushioning feels compressed or less responsive, it may be time to replace the shoes to maintain optimal support and shock absorption.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Try On: Always try on the shoes with the type of socks you typically wear for running or activity. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Lacing: Lace them securely but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for optimal support.
Break-In Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a short break-in period of a few shorter runs or walks to fully adapt to your foot's shape.
Compatibility

Activities: Ideal for running, walking, gym workouts, and general active lifestyle wear.
Foot Type: Generally suited for neutral to overpronating foot types, though individual fit and comfort are paramount.
Care Instructions
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For spot cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and cushioning.
Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not expose to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources like radiators, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in a shoe bag can protect them from dust and dirt when not in use.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda.
