FAQs

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in the Gel-Kayano 14?

The GEL technology provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.

Is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for long-distance running?

While offering good cushioning, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light training. For dedicated long-distance running, ASICS may offer models with more specialized features.

How does the Trusstic system contribute to the shoe's performance?

The Trusstic system provides midfoot structural integrity, enhancing stability and preventing excessive twisting.

What does 'retro-inspired' mean for this shoe?

It means the shoe utilizes the original design and tooling from the 2008 version, giving it a classic, vintage aesthetic.

Are these trainers unisex?

This particular model is listed as 'Male', but ASICS often releases similar styles in unisex or female versions. Check specific product listings for availability.

How can I clean the mesh and leather parts of the shoe?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.

Does this shoe have good arch support?

The Gel-Kayano 14 features the Trusstic system for stability, which indirectly aids in supporting the arch. However, specific arch support levels can vary based on individual foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thicker socks or breaking in the shoes with shorter periods of wear initially.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL technology is designed for longevity, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant wear is evident.

Color transfer from material

Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when wet, as some color transfer may occur initially.
