FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While based on performance running heritage, the GEL-KAYANO 14 is currently positioned as a lifestyle trainer. It is better suited for walking and casual wear than high-mileage running.
Does the leather upper stretch over time?
Like most leather footwear, the material will slightly conform to the shape of your foot with consistent wear, providing a more personalized fit.
Are the shoes waterproof?
The leather construction provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to prevent water spots on the leather.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced with any preferred length or style to customize the look of your trainers.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
ASICS trainers generally follow standard sizing. If you have worn other ASICS SportStyle models, we recommend sticking to that same size for a consistent fit.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather footwear. To minimize it, use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help them maintain their shape.
Difficulty cleaning light-coloured leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff out surface stains before applying any liquid cleaning agents.
Insole comfort issues
If the original insole does not provide sufficient arch support for your specific foot shape, they are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers stay in prime condition, proper maintenance of the leather upper is essential. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather finish. Instead, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the surface. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized leather cleaner using a microfiber cloth, following the product instructions carefully. For the midsole, a damp cloth with mild soap can effectively remove scuff marks. Keep the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
