FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a performance runner, this specific model is best suited for lifestyle and casual use rather than long-distance training.
How do I ensure I order the right size?
The Gel-Kayano 14 generally runs true to size. We recommend checking your current ASICS size or measuring your foot to match the UK sizing provided.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and leather components and compromise the structural integrity of the GEL cushioning.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper features a combination of high-quality suede and leather, depending on the specific variant.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly tight.
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before stepping in; as the padding breaks in, the internal volume will increase for a more custom fit.
Suede appears to have water spots.
Allow the shoe to air dry completely away from direct heat, then use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:
- Breaking In: These shoes generally fit true to size. Wear them indoors for a few hours initially to allow the padding to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning Suede/Leather: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent; avoid soaking the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or cracking.
- Compatibility: The neutral colorway of black and cream pairs well with denim, chinos, or athletic joggers, making them a highly compatible addition to any wardrobe.
