ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - Grey - UK 6.5

While the Gel-Kayano series originated as a running line, the Gel-Kayano 14 model has been reimagined with a focus on its late 2000s aesthetic and superior comfort for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes. It provides excellent cushioning for walking and daily activities but is not specifically optimized for high-performance running training.

GEL™ Technology provides advanced shock absorption and cushioning, which helps to reduce impact during walking and standing. This results in a more comfortable and responsive feel underfoot throughout the day.

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a component integrated into the midfoot of the shoe. It helps to stabilize the foot, providing support and preventing excessive twisting, which contributes to a more stable and comfortable stride.

The upper features a combination of textile and synthetic materials, often with layered leather and mesh construction. This blend provides durability, breathability, and the distinct aesthetic of the shoe.

For general cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently wipe away dirt. For leather sections, a specialized leather cleaner can be used. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.

ASICS generally follows standard UK sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to consult a size chart if possible or try them on to ensure the best fit. Many users find them to fit true to their regular size.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. New shoes might require a short 'break-in' period. Try adjusting the laces for a looser fit initially. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size larger.

Regularly spot clean your shoes using a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush, especially after outdoor use. For persistent stains, consider a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for textile/synthetic materials.

Ensure your feet are clean and dry before wearing. Allow shoes to air out after each use. You can insert odor-absorbing sachets or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to neutralize smells. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
