FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning in the midsole provides superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints for enhanced comfort during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by performance trainers and featuring cushioning, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. For intense running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches to help you find the corresponding UK shoe size. This guide is for UK 5.5.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the main material of the upper?
The uppers are constructed with a combination of mesh for breathability and leather for durability and structure.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide reliable traction and withstand regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing worn-out laces.
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow the shoes to break in gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the insole is properly seated.
Upper material appears dirty
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for mesh areas. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before storing or wearing.
