FAQs
Is the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the GEL technology in the sole provides significant cushioning, making it suitable for various running distances, including marathons, by absorbing impact effectively.
Can I wear these shoes for casual everyday activities?
Absolutely. While designed with running in mind, the comfortable cushioning, lightweight feel, and universal color scheme make them an excellent choice for casual, everyday wear.
What is 'GEL technology'?
GEL technology is a proprietary ASICS cushioning system placed in the sole, typically under the heel and forefoot, to attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allow movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
How do I determine the correct size?
This specific model is a UK size 5. For general sizing, ASICS shoes typically run true to size. If you are unsure, it's recommended to measure your foot and consult a standard ASICS size chart.
What are the main materials used in the shoe?
The upper is primarily composed of breathable mesh with durable leather reinforcements. The sole is made of rubber and incorporates ASICS' legendary GEL technology for cushioning.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 is designed to be exceptionally light, utilizing breathable mesh and other lightweight materials to ensure comfort without added bulk.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight after initial wear.
Ensure you have the correct size; this specific model is UK 5. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Allow for a short break-in period, as new shoes can sometimes feel stiff.
Squeaking sound coming from the sole while walking.
This can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insoles, drying both the inside of the shoe and the insoles thoroughly, and then reinserting them. If the squeak persists, check if the rubber sole has any loose sections.
Upper material appears dirty or discolored.
Gently clean the mesh and leather sections with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe away excess moisture and air dry completely. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or scrubbing aggressively on the mesh.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and leather sections, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, especially on the mesh.
- Removing Dirt: For tougher dirt on the rubber sole, a soft brush can be used carefully.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage materials and adhesives.
