FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-Kayano 14 has a rich running heritage and excellent cushioning, it is now primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. For serious or performance running, newer ASICS running shoe models might be more appropriate as they incorporate the latest athletic technologies.
How do I clean my white ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers?
For routine cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. For textile areas, a gentle fabric cleaner works best. For synthetic leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Always air dry completely away from direct heat.
What materials are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 made from?
The upper is constructed from a combination of high-quality textile material and durable synthetic leather, providing a blend of breathability, support, and texture. The midsole features ASICS' signature GEL technology for cushioning.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 runs true to size for most individuals. This specific product is a UK 8. We recommend selecting your usual sneaker size.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These shoes are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can saturate the textile materials and potentially damage the shoes over time. Always allow them to dry fully if they get wet.
What is GEL technology?
GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel in the midsole to absorb shock effectively. This helps to protect your feet and joints from impact during movement, providing a more comfortable experience.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Check your lacing. Adjust the laces to be looser or tighter for a more comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width, though this specific product is UK 8.
Shoes are getting dirty quickly.
Due to the white color and material combination, regular cleaning is essential. Spot clean immediately after use and follow the care instructions provided in the 'Care & Maintenance' section to prevent deep stains.
Unpleasant odor develops in shoes.
Regularly air out your shoes after wearing. Remove insoles to allow better airflow. Use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or a sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odors.

- Style: Highly compatible with streetwear, casual fashion, athleisure, and sport-inspired outfits.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers, follow these care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt or scuffs, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Material-Specific Care:
- Textile Areas: Use a gentle fabric cleaner or mild detergent solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the material.
- Synthetic Leather: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a small amount of leather cleaner designed for synthetics can be used.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the internal structure and materials.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your shoes regularly to prevent dirt buildup, especially for white footwear, to maintain their pristine appearance.
