FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers suitable for actual running?

While inspired by running shoes and featuring GEL cushioning, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily reinterpreted as a lifestyle sneaker. For dedicated high-performance running, consider ASICS' dedicated running shoe lines.

How do I clean the Birch Dark Pewter colorway?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth for the mesh and leather. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Ensure they air dry completely away from direct heat.

What does the 'TRUSSTIC' system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is integrated into the midsole to provide torsional rigidity and midfoot support, enhancing stability during wear.

What is special about the sock liner's dyeing process?

The sock liner uses a dyeing process that significantly reduces water usage (by 35%) and carbon emissions (by up to 45%) compared to conventional methods, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

What is the typical fit of the Gel-Kayano 14?

The Gel-Kayano 14 generally offers a comfortable fit with good padding. As with most trainers, a break-in period may be beneficial for optimal comfort.

Where can I find other sizes or colorways?

Refer to the product listing or search for 'ASICS Gel-Kayano 14' to see available variants. This guide focuses on the specific 'Birch Dark Pewter' colorway in UK size 6.5.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure laces are correctly adjusted for a snug but not too tight fit. Consider using different lacing techniques or thicker socks if the issue persists. Allow for a break-in period.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Material scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs on leather overlays, a leather cleaner or eraser can be used carefully. For mesh areas, a soft brush with mild soap and water is recommended.
