FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Gel-Kayano 14 are designed with classic running technology for comfort and support during everyday activities and lighter training. For professional marathon running, dedicated high-performance running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the cream-coloured mesh?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Avoid excessive scrubbing. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning in the midsole is engineered to provide exceptional shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, thereby enhancing comfort during wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.
What makes the design 'retro-inspired'?
The Gel-Kayano 14 draws inspiration from ASICS' heritage running shoe designs from previous eras, incorporating classic silhouettes and design cues updated for a contemporary look.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 14 series is available in various colourways, including different combinations of creams, blues, and metallic accents. Please check product listings for available options.
What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original shoe box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect.
Consult the ASICS sizing guide and compare with your foot measurements. Consider the specific fit of the Gel-Kayano 14 model; some users prefer to go up half a size for extra comfort.
Discomfort during initial wear.
New trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic footwear.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While GEL cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacement if the cushioning no longer provides adequate comfort and support.
Metallic accents show scuff marks.
Gently wipe scuff marks with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized shoe cleaner for delicate finishes can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe-down.
