FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for running marathons?

While the Gel-Kayano 14 features GEL cushioning for comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For dedicated marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models engineered for that specific purpose.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with ASICS' size chart. Consider the specific fit of the Gel-Kayano 14; some users find they run slightly large or small. Trying them on or checking customer reviews for sizing advice is helpful.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.

What is the main difference between this model and newer ASICS trainers?

The Gel-Kayano 14 focuses on a retro aesthetic and the cushioning technology from its era. Newer models often incorporate updated materials, more advanced cushioning systems (like FF Blast+), and contemporary design elements.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the mesh upper provides breathability but is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.

What does 'MPN' mean in the product details?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. It is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a specific product variant, like this particular colour and size combination of the Gel-Kayano 14.

How often should I replace my Gel-Kayano 14 trainers?

For optimal comfort and support, trainers are generally recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles of use, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole, midsole compression, or reduced cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit

Wear the trainers with thin socks initially or consider using thicker socks for a snugger feel during the break-in period. If persistent, consider trying a half-size larger.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may naturally decrease with extensive, heavy use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for casual trainers.

Discoloration on metallic parts

Ensure only a mild soap and water solution is used for cleaning and that no abrasive materials come into contact with the metallic finishes.

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal shoe components. Ensure the insole is properly seated and try wearing thicker socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure clothing styles. They are not specifically designed for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and fabric areas, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the rubber sole and midsole with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, a slightly more concentrated soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  3. Metallic Accents: Clean metallic and chrome areas with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid rubbing too aggressively to prevent scratching.
  4. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with soap and water, then air dry.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
