FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support for daily activities. While they have running shoe heritage, they are not optimized for the high-performance demands of marathon running.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Ensure your foot is measured from heel to toe. The product information lists the size as UK 11.5 for this specific listing.

What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC support system?

The TRUSSTIC support system is integrated into the midsole to provide stability and torsional rigidity in the midfoot, helping to control pronation and maintain the shoe's structural integrity.

Can the sock liner be removed?

Typically, sock liners in trainers are removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics. However, consult the product manual or manufacturer for confirmation on this specific model.

How does the sustainable sock liner work?

The sock liner is dyed using a solution dyeing process which significantly reduces water usage and carbon emissions compared to conventional dyeing methods, contributing to a more environmentally friendly production.

What other colors or sizes are available for the Gel-Kayano 14 series?

The Gel-Kayano 14 series is available in various colorways and sizes. Please refer to the product listing and related items for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the front lace closure. If still tight, ensure you have the correct UK size. Consider if thicker socks are being used.

Discoloration on leather overlays

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a designated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning may naturally reduce with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended casual and light support purpose.

Mesh appears worn or stretched

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbing. Ensure the shoes are not being subjected to excessive friction or stress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable cushioning for all-day wear
  • Stable support for casual use
  • Durable materials with a breathable mesh construction
  • Stylish retro design
  • Eco-conscious manufacturing elements

Cons

  • May not appeal to those preferring modern, minimalist shoe designs
  • Leather overlays require some care to maintain appearance
  • Primarily designed for casual wear, not specialized athletic performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the front lace closure.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are compatible with standard sock wear. Their versatile style makes them suitable for a wide range of casual outfits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from both the mesh and leather components. For stubborn stains on leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Mesh Care: Avoid soaking the mesh. If necessary, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to gently clean affected areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash with mild soap and air dry.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the materials.
