ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Birch Dark Pewter - Trainers

While inspired by technical running shoes, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and comfort. For dedicated high-performance running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.

The sustainable dyeing process for the sock liner reduces environmental impact without compromising the comfort or quality of the material. It is designed to be as durable and comfortable as conventional dyeing methods.

The TRUSSTIC system is a technology integrated into the midsole that provides stability and torsional rigidity, helping to control pronation and maintain the structural integrity of the shoe during movement.

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should not feel constrictive.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. This can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure. Hand-clean them according to the care instructions provided.

'Birch' refers to the primary light beige color of the mesh upper, while 'Dark Pewter' describes the darker, metallic-sheened synthetic leather overlays.

The overlays are made of synthetic leather, providing structure and a distinctive metallic sheen in the Dark Pewter colorway.

Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness. If still too tight, consider if the shoe size is appropriate or if the lacing needs adjustment to provide more volume.

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few days to break them in. If the noise persists, check if the insole is properly seated or if any part of the sole is rubbing.

Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with mild soap and water as per care instructions.

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability but may feel less responsive over extended periods of heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not overused for activities they are not designed for (e.g., intense sports).
