Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of style and supportive performance, drawing inspiration from early 2000s aesthetics. Their key benefit lies in providing stable, cushioned strides with a retro look. A potential caveat is that their specific design might be best suited for general training and lifestyle wear rather than high-impact, specialized sports. These trainers feature an airy mesh upper, synthetic overlays for structure, a TRUSSTIC SUPPORT SYSTEM for stability, GEL technology for cushioning, and a durable rubber outsole for traction.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers offer GEL cushioning and stability suitable for general training and lifestyle wear. For marathon running, ASICS recommends models specifically engineered for long-distance performance, which may provide more advanced support and cushioning features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug but not tight. It's best to try them on later in the day when feet are slightly swollen.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Hand clean using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What does the TRUSSTIC SUPPORT SYSTEM do?
The TRUSSTIC SUPPORT SYSTEM is a midfoot structural component that works to control torsion, providing increased stability and preventing excessive twisting of the foot during movement.
How often should I replace my GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers?
For optimal performance and support, trainers are typically recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles of use, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole, midsole cushioning, or upper. For general lifestyle wear, replace them when they show signs of wear and tear that affect comfort or support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They feature breathable mesh uppers, which allow for ventilation but will not keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not too tight across the instep. If discomfort persists, consider if this specific model or fit is suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The GEL cushioning may take some time to break in. If the shoes are significantly worn, the cushioning may have compressed over time. For newer shoes, ensure you are using them as intended (general training/lifestyle); specialized running shoes might offer more advanced cushioning for high mileage.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For new shoes, a brief period of wear can sometimes improve initial grip. If the issue persists on very slick surfaces, consider that the traction is designed for general use, not extreme conditions.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean the shoes according to the care instructions using mild cleaners and water to prevent damage to dyes and materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The GEL-KAYANO 14 is designed for adult use. While suitable for general fitness activities and lifestyle wear, they are not intended for highly specialized sports requiring advanced performance features. They are compatible with most athletic and casual wear.
Care: To maintain the trainers' condition:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh and synthetic parts. Avoid harsh chemicals.

- Drying: Always air dry trainers naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
