FAQs
What makes the GEL-KAYANO 14 different from other ASICS trainers?
The GEL-KAYANO 14 stands out by reviving the original 2008 design aesthetic, featuring specific panelling and a retro look, combined with established GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC support for stability.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While comfortable for everyday wear and light training, the GEL-KAYANO 14 is more of a lifestyle or support trainer. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoes designed for that purpose.
How do I know if I've got the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the ASICS sizing chart. Trying them on if possible is the best way to ensure a proper fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The shoes offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. The rubber outsole provides traction, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the TRUSSTIC unit?
The TRUSSTIC system is a component in the midsole that provides midfoot support and torsional rigidity, helping to prevent the foot from twisting excessively and enhancing overall stability.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is built for long-lasting sturdiness, providing reliable traction and wear resistance for everyday use and light activities.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of textile and synthetic materials, designed to offer a balance of breathability and durability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider using thinner socks or attempting to break them in gradually. Refer to the sizing chart if unsure.
Sole feels stiff
The GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC unit may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole offers good grip, but like most trainers, performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Use caution when walking on slick areas.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean with recommended methods to maintain material integrity and color.
