FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the GEL cushioning provides comfort, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer with a retro aesthetic. For dedicated marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals. Note the UK sizing provided.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, especially suede and GEL cushioning, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat.
What is the primary difference between this retro model and modern ASICS running shoes?
This model emphasizes a retro aesthetic and lifestyle comfort, inspired by late 2000s designs. Modern ASICS running shoes are typically engineered with the latest biomechanical research for peak athletic performance, advanced support systems, and lighter materials.
How do I maintain the white and silver color scheme?
Clean regularly using the care instructions. For white mesh, mild soap and water is effective. For silver accents and suede, use specific cleaners to avoid discoloration or damage. Keep them away from harsh chemicals and excessive dirt.
What does 'Gel-Kayano' signify in ASICS naming?
The 'Gel-Kayano' line traditionally represents ASICS's premium stability running shoes, known for excellent cushioning and support. While this model is a reinterpretation with a retro focus, it carries the heritage of comfort and technology associated with the name.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure you are using the correct size. For minor tightness, wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with short periods of wear can help. For looseness, consider using thicker socks or insoles.
Suede material looks worn or dirty
Use a suede eraser for stubborn marks and a suede brush to restore the nap. For general cleaning, follow the care instructions carefully, avoiding soaking the suede.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance may slightly decrease with extensive use. For very heavy use, consider rotating footwear to prolong the lifespan and effectiveness of the cushioning.
