FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The integrated GEL technology provides advanced shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during walking or light running, which contributes significantly to overall comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running or marathons?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is designed with running aesthetics and cushioning for comfort, making it suitable for light running, walking, and casual wear. For serious or long-distance running, you might consider ASICS models specifically engineered for high-performance training and support needs.
How do I determine if this UK size 5.5 is right for me?
It's best to measure your foot length and consult an ASICS women's shoe size chart. Also, consider the fit of your current shoes. A proper fit ensures comfort and prevents rubbing or discomfort.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The breathable mesh upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may result in wet feet and can potentially damage the shoe materials over time.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for casual daily wear, walking, light jogs, and as a stylish accessory for athleisure outfits. Their comfort and design make them a versatile choice for everyday activities.
When was this particular model released?

Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or rubbed in certain spots.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing different types of socks (thicker/thinner) to see if it improves the fit. Allow a break-in period, as new shoes sometimes need a few wears to mold to your feet.
The shoes are starting to smell unpleasant.
Remove the insoles after use and let the shoes air out in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing sachets of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
The mesh upper looks dirty or stained.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Wipe away excess soap with a clean, damp cloth and let air dry. Avoid scrubbing too vigorously.
The shoe feels less cushioned over time.
While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can compress over extensive use. If the shoe is very old or has been used heavily, it might be time to consider replacing them. Ensure you're not using them for activities beyond their intended design, which could accelerate wear.

Care

- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and polyurethane overlays with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can deform materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your shoes, as this can damage the GEL technology, adhesives, and upper materials.
