Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Birch Dark Pewter trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro running shoe aesthetics and modern comfort. Its key benefit lies in the responsive GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC support system, offering a comfortable stride. A potential consideration is the reinterpreted design, which may differ subtly from original 2000s models. This shoe features a breathable mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays, a sustainably dyed sock liner, and a secure lace closure, embodying early 2000s technical running shoe inspiration.

Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the sole
This can be due to gait. Ensure you are using the correct size and consider if your walking or running style requires specific support. The TRUSSTIC system is designed to mitigate this.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a secure yet comfortable fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check if the size is appropriate; a size too small or too large can cause discomfort.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Blot with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
