FAQs

Are these ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 suitable for running?

While drawing from the GEL-KAYANO running heritage, this specific iteration has been reimagined for modern, casual wear. It prioritizes all-day comfort and style, making it ideal for daily activities, walking, and light workouts, rather than specialized high-performance competitive running.

How do 'GEL Technology' and 'TRUSSTIC System' benefit me?

The 'GEL Technology' in the sole provides superior shock absorption, cushioning your foot from impact. The 'TRUSSTIC System' enhances the shoe's structural integrity, offering improved stability and preventing excessive twisting of the shoe, which contributes to a more supportive and comfortable experience throughout the day.

What materials are used in the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 - Black?

The trainers feature a breathable black mesh base for the upper, complemented by metallic 'Pure Silver' synthetic overlays. The sole is made from synthetic materials, contributing to its durability and cushioning properties.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers. Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Please follow the care instructions provided for gentle hand cleaning.

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

ASICS sizing is generally consistent, but it's always best to refer to a specific size guide if available, or try them on. Consider the fit with the type of socks you typically wear. The lacing system also allows for some adjustability to fine-tune the fit.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The GEL-KAYANO 14 series is known for its supportive design, including the TRUSSTIC System which contributes to midfoot integrity and stability. This inherently provides a good level of support suitable for general wear, but individual needs for arch support may vary.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better accommodate your foot's width and arch. A looser lace can provide more room, while a tighter lace can offer more support.

Experiencing discomfort after long periods of wear.

While designed for comfort, prolonged wear can sometimes cause discomfort. Verify your lacing provides even pressure. Consider trying different socks or, if persistent, consult a foot specialist for potential orthotic inserts.

The mesh upper looks dirty or stained.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild soap. Dab, rather than rub, to lift the dirt. Avoid saturating the material and allow it to air dry completely.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and allowing them to dry thoroughly before reinserting. If the issue persists, it might be due to shoe construction, which usually subsides with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Simply unbox your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers and lace them up to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust the lacing tightness to your preference, ensuring a snug feel without excessive pressure.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult wear and are highly versatile. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel. Their timeless black and silver aesthetic makes them suitable for various urban environments, daily commutes, casual outings, and light recreational activities. They are ideal for individuals seeking comfort and style for everyday use.

Care:

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes that could damage the material.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can deform materials.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and adhesives, voiding any potential warranty.
