FAQs
What is GEL™ Cushioning Technology?
GEL™ Cushioning Technology is ASICS' signature silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock and provide excellent comfort upon impact, enhancing your walking or standing experience.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a component found under the arch of the shoe. It provides stability, reduces the shoe's weight, and helps guide the foot efficiently through the gait cycle, offering reliable support for all-day comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While the GEL-KAYANO 14 features excellent cushioning and support, it's primarily designed as a lifestyle and comfort shoe, ideal for daily wear, walking, and light activities. For specialized, high-performance running, ASICS offers other models designed specifically for competitive running.
How should I clean my ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14?
To clean your shoes, gently wipe the `synthetic leather` and `textile upper` with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, which can damage the materials.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of `synthetic leather` and `textile`, specifically a breathable mesh base, providing both durability and ventilation.
What inspired the design of the GEL-KAYANO 14?
The GEL-KAYANO 14 pays tribute to the iconic ASICS GEL-KAYANO series, drawing heavily from the aesthetic of its early 2000s models, offering a blend of vintage style and modern comfort.
What is the sizing for this variant?
This specific variant is an `adult` `Female` `UK size 3`. ASICS sizing is generally consistent, but it's always recommended to ensure you're selecting the correct size for optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The `UK 3` sizing is standard, but fit can vary. Allow for a brief break-in period, as materials may soften with wear. Check lacing to ensure it's not too tight.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight. Consider trying different lacing techniques to improve lockdown. Check if your socks provide adequate grip. The `TRUSSTIC` system provides midfoot support, but a secure fit is key.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes a new shoe can squeak. This often resolves with wear. If it persists, the sound might come from the insole rubbing against the footbed; try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath the insole.
Sole appears to be losing grip
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear. While durable, constant use on abrasive surfaces can reduce traction over time. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris that might hinder grip.
Stains or dirt on the upper
Spot clean immediately using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, especially on the `breathable mesh` and `synthetic leather` overlays, to prevent damage.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the longevity and appearance of your GEL-KAYANO 14 sneakers:
- Cleaning: For the synthetic leather and textile upper, gently wipe any dirt or scuffs with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
- Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Odour Control: If needed, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers to keep your sneakers fresh.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
