ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Y2K - Birch Dark Pewter Trainers - UK 9.5

The GEL cushioning in the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 provides superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.

While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, the standard fit is designed for average width feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or check reviews regarding fit for wider feet.

The TRUSSTIC support system is located in the midfoot and helps to increase stability and torsional rigidity, preventing excessive twisting of the foot.

The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. The leather overlays may provide minor water resistance, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

The sock liner is dyed using a solution dyeing method, which significantly reduces water usage and carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing processes.

Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

With proper care and for intended use (daily wear, light running), the shoes should last for a considerable period. Lifespan varies based on usage intensity and frequency.

Try double-knotting the laces or consider replacing them with laces that offer better grip.

Adjust the lacing system for a looser fit. Leather may require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially.

This can occur with new leather products. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or clothing until the dye has stabilized.

GEL cushioning is durable but can degrade. Ensure shoes are not overused for high-impact activities and consider replacement if comfort significantly decreases.
