FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
While the Gel-Kayano 14 was originally a performance runner in the late-2000s, it is now marketed primarily as a lifestyle trainer. It is excellent for walking and casual wear but may lack the specialized energy-return technology found in modern dedicated racing shoes.
How do I determine my size?
ASICS generally fit true to size. If you have worn ASICS previously, stick to your standard size. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up by a half size to accommodate foot swelling throughout the day.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are made with breathable mesh and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mild weather.
Can I replace the insoles with orthotics?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, making them compatible with most custom or aftermarket orthotic inserts.
Are these unisex?
Yes, this specific model is designed as a unisex trainer, meaning it follows standard sizing conventions that accommodate a wide variety of foot shapes.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help the shoes maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Noticeable creasing on the midsole
This is a natural occurrence in foam-based midsoles. To minimize it, avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row to allow the foam to decompress fully.
Squeaking sounds while walking
Often caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the midsole. Remove the insole, let it air dry completely, and wipe the interior of the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Iconic, versatile retro-runner aesthetic that pairs easily with both athletic and casual outfits
- Excellent all-day comfort provided by dual-density GEL cushioning
- Highly stable construction thanks to the TRUSSTIC support system
- Breathable design keeps feet comfortable in warmer conditions
- Durable synthetic overlays offer good protection and shape retention
Cons
- Not intended for high-intensity, long-distance professional running
- Light-colored mesh base may require more frequent cleaning to maintain a pristine look
- Fit is relatively streamlined, which may feel tight for individuals with very wide feet
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 14s last, follow these care and setup guidelines:
Initial Fit: The shoe features a streamlined last. When trying them on, ensure there is a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. If you wear thick performance socks, consider trying them on with those to ensure the volume is correct.
Maintenance:
- Surface Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the synthetic overlays and rubber outsole.
- Deep Cleaning: If the mesh gets soiled, gently spot-clean with mild, soapy water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam cushioning.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can warp the synthetic materials and the EVA midsole foam.
