ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - Silver - UK 11

The Gel-Kayano 14 is versatile; it's built as a running shoe with GEL technology for impact absorption and a TRUSSTIC system for stability, making it excellent for daily training and comfortable for longer runs. Its iconic 2000s design also makes it a very popular and stylish choice for casual and lifestyle wear.

GEL technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system, using silicone-based material strategically placed in the midsole (typically in the heel and forefoot). It's designed to absorb impact forces, reducing stress on your feet and joints, and providing a softer, more comfortable feel during every stride.

The TRUSSTIC support system is a lightweight component located in the midfoot area of the outsole. Its purpose is to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, enhancing stability and preventing the shoe from twisting excessively during movement, particularly useful for overpronators.

To clean your shoes, use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and cool water to gently scrub the synthetic upper and rubber outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals, machine washing, or machine drying, as these can damage the materials. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 typically runs true to size with a regular fit. We recommend purchasing your usual athletic shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options or consulting an ASICS sizing chart.

While this specific variant is listed as 'Male' (UK 11), the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 series is generally popular across genders. Women can certainly wear this shoe if the sizing is appropriate for their foot length and width. Check the available sizing options for women's specific sizes if preferred.

Ensure you've laced them correctly, without overtightening. Try adjusting the lacing pattern, skipping eyelets if necessary. Confirm you're wearing appropriate athletic socks. Allow a short break-in period as shoes often conform to your foot with a few wears.

Check the outsole for any small debris lodged in the tread. Sometimes, moisture between the insole and the shoe's footbed can cause squeaking; try removing and air-drying the insoles thoroughly.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles or 6-12 months, depending on use. Consistent use will compress the cushioning materials. Ensure proper storage away from extreme temperatures when not in use. If the shoe is past its expected lifespan, consider replacement.

Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). Laces can sometimes be slippery; consider replacing them with new laces if they continue to untie easily.
