FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 offers good cushioning, they are primarily designed as retro-inspired trainers for everyday wear and casual use. For marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot. Compare your measurements to the UK sizing provided. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

What does 'TRUSSTIC' support mean?

The TRUSSTIC system is a component in the midsole that provides stability by preventing unwanted twisting of the shoe, especially during movement.

How sustainable is the sock liner?

The sock liner is dyed using a method that reduces water usage and carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing processes.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the main difference between this and other Gel-Kayano models?

The Gel-Kayano 14 specifically focuses on a retro aesthetic from the 2000s, blending that style with ASICS' advanced GEL cushioning and support technologies from that era. Newer models offer updated technologies and designs.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If the shoe consistently feels tight after breaking in, consider trying a half-size up or consulting sizing charts.

Discomfort during initial wear

This is common due to the break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely.
