FAQs
What makes the "Birch Dark Pewter" colorway sustainable?
The sock liner in this version is dyed using a process that requires 35 percent less water and reduces carbon emissions by up to 45 percent compared to conventional dyeing methods.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they feature running shoe inspiration and GEL cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and comfort. For serious athletic performance, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?
The TRUSSTIC system is a midfoot structure that provides stability and helps control pronation (the inward rolling of the foot) during walking or light activity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel snug and not slip excessively when walking.
What materials are the overlays made of?
The overlays are made of synthetic leather with a metallic sheen in a Dark Pewter color.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and construction of the trainers. Hand-wash and air-dry only.
What is the main inspiration for the Gel-Kayano 14 design?
The design is inspired by technical running shoes from the early 2000s, reinterpreting that era's aesthetic with modern comfort features.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tie securely.
Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets and are not twisted. Try a double knot for extra security.
Slight discomfort on first wear.
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size and fit.
Visible scuffs on synthetic overlays.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For minor scuffs, a shoe repair kit or appropriate leather conditioner may help restore the finish.
