ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 - White - 9.5

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is a 'retro runner silhouette' designed with a sporting aesthetic and comfort in mind. While it offers excellent cushioning and support for everyday wear and light activities, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance or competitive running.

GEL technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system. It involves strategically placed GEL units within the midsole that absorb impact during landing and take-off, providing superior shock absorption and comfort.

The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology located in the midfoot area of the sole. It works to enhance the shoe's stability, prevent excessive twisting, and reduce the overall weight, contributing to a more controlled and efficient stride.

Gently wipe the mesh and eco leather with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if needed. Avoid saturating the materials. For suede overlays, use a dry suede brush. Always air dry away from direct heat.

ASICS generally aims for consistent sizing. However, foot shapes vary. It is recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit. The product is listed in UK adult foot sizes.

The sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process. This innovative method reduces the amount of water required during the dyeing process by approximately 33% and lowers carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods.

Ensure you have the correct size. Allow for a break-in period; the materials often soften with wear. Check lacing to ensure it's not too tight across the instep.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the sockliner, cleaning both the sockliner and the shoe's footbed, then reinserting. A light sprinkle of baby powder beneath the sockliner can also help.

For mesh, use a soft brush and mild soap solution, then wipe with a damp cloth. For eco leather, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For suede, use a specialized suede brush.

Remove the sockliners and air them out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear.
