ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 - Silver - UK 9.5

The Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, offering excellent comfort and stability for everyday use and light activities. While it incorporates advanced cushioning, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance or competitive running where specialized modern features might be preferred.

For textile and synthetic uppers, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For leather/faux leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Use mild soap for stubborn spots. Always air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.

GEL™ Technology refers to ASICS' proprietary silicone-based gel cushioning units strategically placed in the midsole (often in the heel and forefoot). These units are designed to absorb shock during impact and provide superior comfort, enhancing the overall feel and ride of the shoe.

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a lightweight component positioned under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to enhance stability, prevent excessive twisting of the foot during movement, and reduce the overall weight of the sole unit, thereby helping to guide the foot smoothly through its natural gait.

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 generally fits true to size. It's recommended to select your usual UK shoe size. However, individual foot shape can vary, so if possible, try them on or refer to ASICS' official sizing charts for precise measurements.

The upper of the Gel-Kayano 14 features a combination of textile and synthetic materials, with some variants also incorporating leather or faux leather elements, offering a blend of durability, breathability, and classic aesthetics.

Yes, the Gel-Kayano 14's cushioning and stability make it suitable for light gym workouts, such as weight training, machine cardio, or general fitness classes. For very high-impact or specialized training, dedicated performance shoes might be more appropriate.

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer. For a looser fit, try re-lacing in a different pattern, skipping eyelets if necessary. Ensure you have the correct size by referring to ASICS' sizing guide.

Often caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the issue persists, the outsole might be separating slightly from the midsole – contact customer support if new.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break-in new shoes gradually. If discomfort persists, consider trying different insoles for better arch support or cushioning tailored to your foot needs.

Experiment with different knot-tying techniques, such as the 'surgeon's knot' or a double knot, for increased security. Replace worn-out laces if they are smooth or slippery.

Regularly clean the shoes as per the care instructions. Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for textile/synthetic materials to repel water and stains, especially on lighter coloured variants.
