FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for running marathons?

While the Gel-Kayano 14 offers good cushioning and comfort, it's primarily designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, consider models specifically engineered for high-performance distance running.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing cushioning and reducing stress on your joints during wear.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS size guide, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches corresponding to UK shoe sizes. It's often best to measure your foot length accurately.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces is not recommended, as it can affect the materials and comfort.

What is the intended gender for these trainers?

These ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are specifically designed for males.

What does 'Obsidian Grey Cement' refer to?

This refers to the specific colorway of the trainers. 'Obsidian Grey' is the primary dark grey tone, complemented by lighter grey and possibly cement-like detailing.

How do I maintain the shoe's shape?

Using a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

The trainers may feel a bit stiff initially. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in. The materials will soften with use.

Inconsistent sizing compared to other brands

ASICS sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to consult the ASICS size chart or try them on if possible. Ensure your UK size is correct for this model.

Dirt accumulation on midsole/outsole

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the rubber and foam components. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no special setup. They are designed for direct wear. Compatibility is broad, fitting well with casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
