FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers offer good cushioning for general comfort and lighter athletic activities. For marathon running, which requires specific support and stability, it is recommended to opt for a shoe specifically designed for long-distance running.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's best to measure your foot length and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart. Footwear fit can be subjective, so trying them on is ideal. If ordering online, check the return policy in case a different size is needed.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints. This enhances comfort during walking, standing, and light athletic activities.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
While standard width is common, ASICS often offers shoes in various widths. Check the product specifications or available options for width variations if you have wider feet. Trying them on is the best way to confirm comfort.
How often should I replace my trainers?
The lifespan of trainers depends on usage and care. For general wear, it's often recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles of running, or when cushioning feels less effective, soles show significant wear, or you experience new aches and pains.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect.
The fit of footwear can vary. If the shoes feel too tight or too loose, consider trying a different size or width. Consult the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements.
Cushioning feels inadequate for specific activity.
While the GEL cushioning provides general comfort, highly specialized activities may require shoes with targeted support. Consider if the Gel-Kayano 14 is the most appropriate model for your intended use.
Materials appear to be wearing out quickly.
Ensure proper care and cleaning practices are followed. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can degrade materials. Check if the shoes are being used for activities beyond their intended scope.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. If laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new ones for better grip.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your trainers:
- Cleaning Uppers: Gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Lining and Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be hand-washed with cool water and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely. For the inner lining, use a damp cloth to spot clean.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed to maintain traction.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in humid conditions.
