FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is a retro running shoe, making it ideal for casual wear, walking, and light exercise. While it offers excellent cushioning and stability, it is not designed for high-performance, competitive running by modern standards. For intense training, you might consider ASICS' more contemporary running shoe lines.
How do I clean my Gel-Kayano 14 shoes?
Gently wipe the mesh and faux leather upper with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or using a washing machine. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. For the soles, use a brush to remove dirt.
What is the 'Trusstic System'?
The Trusstic System is a technology found in the midfoot area of the sole. It's designed to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, providing enhanced stability and preventing unwanted twisting during movement.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper features a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and faux leather overlays for structure and style. This blend offers a comfortable fit and a distinct retro aesthetic.
Is the sizing true to fit?
ASICS generally provides consistent sizing. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for a comfortable fit. If you are unsure, referring to an ASICS sizing chart or trying them on if possible can help ensure the best fit.
Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?
Yes, these shoes can be suitable for light gym workouts, such as using cardio machines or bodyweight exercises, due to their cushioning and stability. However, for specialized training like heavy lifting or high-intensity interval training, shoes with different support and flexibility profiles might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Check your socks for thickness. Allow a short break-in period, as new shoes sometimes need a few wears to conform to your feet. Re-lace to distribute pressure evenly.
Foot odor develops after wear.
Remove insoles and allow them to air out after each use. Use an odor-absorbing powder or spray. Ensure your socks are made from moisture-wicking material and are changed regularly.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The outsole tread is designed for general purpose wear. Be cautious on wet, oily, or extremely smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of dirt and debris that could reduce traction.
Shoes appear dirty or stained quickly.
Regularly clean the mesh and faux leather components with a damp cloth and mild soap. Consider applying a protective spray designed for footwear to help repel water and stains, especially on the mesh areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 is as simple as lacing them up. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight to allow for comfortable foot movement. Take a few steps to feel the cushioning and stability, adjusting the lacing if necessary.
Compatibility
This specific variant is designed for adult females and comes in UK size 9. The Gel-Kayano 14 is generally suitable for individuals with neutral pronation or those who appreciate a supportive, stable platform. Its retro-runner aesthetic makes it highly compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure wardrobes.
Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Gel-Kayano 14:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the breathable mesh and faux leather components, gently wipe any dirt or stains with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the materials. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
- Sole Care: Clean the outsoles with a brush to remove trapped dirt and pebbles, which can affect grip and wear.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. Using shoe deodorizers or baking soda can help maintain freshness.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as this can damage the structural integrity and materials.
