ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Trainers - Birch Dark Pewter - Size 12.5

While the Gel-Kayano 14 offers good cushioning and support, it is primarily a retro-inspired trainer designed for everyday wear and light activities. For marathon running, ASICS recommends their specialized long-distance running shoes which feature more advanced technologies tailored for endurance.

The sock liner is dyed using a water-saving and low-carbon process. This method significantly reduces the amount of water and energy typically used in traditional dyeing processes, thereby lowering the overall environmental footprint of the shoe.

The TRUSSTIC system is a component located in the midsole that provides stability. It helps to control torsion or twisting of the foot, offering a more secure and controlled stride, particularly on uneven surfaces or during dynamic movements.

For mesh, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. For leather overlays, use a damp cloth and consider a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner to maintain their appearance and prevent drying.

These trainers are best suited for daily wear, walking, casual outings, and light training or gym activities. They offer a blend of comfort, style, and moderate support.

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product catalog or retailer listings for other available options.

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart, which typically provides conversions between US, European, and UK shoe sizes. Measuring your foot length can help ensure an accurate selection.

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if breaking-in is needed.

The GEL cushioning may compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose; for very high mileage, consider replacing them.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean leather parts with appropriate leather cleaners if discoloration occurs.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between different shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole, or check if any part of the outsole is rubbing against the midsole.
