FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL-KAYANO 14?
The primary benefit is the combination of a comfortable, cushioned stride provided by GEL technology and enhanced stability from the TRUSSTIC support system, all within a stylish, retro-inspired design.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for general training and everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning and support, they may not provide the specialized features required for marathon running, which often demands more advanced performance technology.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Ensure your heel does not slip excessively when walking.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, especially the GEL cushioning and synthetic overlays. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What does 'noughties icon' refer to?
'Noughties icon' refers to the design aesthetic inspired by popular styles from the early 2000s. This gives the GEL-KAYANO 14 a vintage yet trendy look.
How do I clean the white colour family of these trainers?
For the white colour, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. A soft brush can help with textured areas. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a midfoot stability component integrated into the sole. It helps to reduce the risk of excessive twisting and provides torsional rigidity, enhancing overall stability during your stride.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing them with thinner socks initially or allow a break-in period. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate the size or consider alternative lacing techniques.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC system are designed for longevity but can degrade with extensive use. For best performance, consider replacing trainers after significant mileage or noticeable loss of cushioning.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, it is not designed for extreme wet conditions. Exercise caution on very slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for optimal grip.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear or dirt
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains on mesh, use a soft brush. Ensure the shoes are fully air-dried to prevent material degradation.
