ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers - Beige - Brown - UK 9

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed with a retro running aesthetic and features cushioning, but it is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities rather than high-performance or long-distance running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoes.

The sock liner is dyed using a process that uses 35% less water and reduces carbon emissions by up to 45% compared to traditional dyeing methods, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

The TRUSSTIC support system is located in the midfoot and is designed to provide stability and torsional rigidity, helping to prevent the foot from rolling excessively and ensuring a more controlled stride.

Gently wipe the leather overlays with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.

The Gel-Kayano 14 is designed to offer a comfortable and secure fit, with padding around the collar and tongue for added comfort. It generally fits true to size, but individual foot shapes may vary.

ASICS branding is prominently featured on the tongue, the heel, and also on the insole of the shoe.

The design is inspired by technical running shoes from the early 2000s, often referred to as the Y2K era, providing a blend of functional elements and a distinct aesthetic from that period.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try loosening the laces, wearing thinner socks, or using the shoe's padding for initial wear-in.

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's layers or between the sole and the ground. Try wearing different socks, or ensure the insoles are properly seated. If it persists, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading. Clean any marks promptly with a damp cloth and appropriate leather cleaner if necessary.
