FAQs
Do these trainers run true to size?
No, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 White Fjord Grey model runs small. It is recommended to take one size up from your usual shoe size for a better fit.
Are these suitable for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning for comfort, the Gel-Kayano 14 is generally considered a lifestyle or light training shoe. For marathon running, consider ASICS models specifically designed for long-distance performance and advanced support.
How do I clean the White/Fjord Grey colorway?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the exterior. Avoid machine washing. Ensure they air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during movement and enhancing overall comfort.
Can I wear these for weightlifting?
The Gel-Kayano 14 offers some stability, but it's not ideal for heavy weightlifting, which typically requires a flatter, more rigid sole. They are better suited for cardio and general training.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper typically consists of a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays, providing both ventilation and structure.
Is this model available in other colors?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 series is available in various colorways. This specific product guide focuses on the White/Fjord Grey variant.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
This model runs small. Consider purchasing one size up. If already purchased, ensure laces are fully loosened. Wear with thinner socks initially.
Discomfort during long wear.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced without being too tight. Verify you have the correct size. Break them in gradually with shorter wear periods.
Squeaking noise.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try a bit of talcum powder under the insole or around the tongue area. Ensure the insole is dry.
Material scuffing easily.
Avoid abrasive surfaces. Clean scuffs gently with a damp cloth. Consider using a protective spray suitable for athletic shoes.
