FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers offer good cushioning and support, making them suitable for marathon training and participation for runners with a neutral pronation. However, individual needs vary, and some marathoners may prefer specialized long-distance running shoes.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?
The GEL technology is strategically placed in the heel and forefoot to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints.
Can these trainers be worn for gym workouts?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are versatile enough for gym workouts, offering stability and comfort. However, for activities requiring significant lateral support, such as cross-training, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I know if the UK 13 size is right for me?
The UK 13 size is a specific measurement. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with ASICS' official sizing chart. Trying them on, if possible, is the best way to confirm fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They feature breathable materials for comfort, which means they are not impermeable to water.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use for running, the cushioning and support typically remain effective for 300-500 miles. For general wear, they are designed to be durable and long-lasting.
What does 'Obsidian Grey Cement' refer to?
'Obsidian Grey Cement' describes the colourway of the trainers, indicating a primary grey shade with potential subtle accents or variations in texture and tone.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If still uncomfortable, consider that the UK 13 size may not be the optimal fit for your foot shape. Refer to ASICS sizing charts for detailed measurements.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The midsole cushioning may naturally compress after significant use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles of running or when support feels diminished.
Discomfort during athletic activity
Ensure the trainers are suitable for your specific activity and foot type (neutral pronation). Check that laces are tied correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. If discomfort persists, consult with a footwear specialist.
