Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 trainers are designed for adult males seeking superior comfort and support for everyday wear or athletic activities. Their key benefit lies in the advanced GEL technology cushioning for a smooth stride, combined with a breathable mesh upper and reinforced heel for stability. A potential consideration is that the 'White/Fjord Grey' colorway might show dirt more easily than darker options, requiring more frequent cleaning.

FAQs
Are the Asics Gel-Kayano 14 suitable for wide feet?
The standard Asics Gel-Kayano 14 comes in a regular width. While the design offers some flexibility, if you have significantly wide feet, you may want to explore if wider size options are available or consider trying them on to assess the fit.
How do I determine the right size for these trainers?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the Asics sizing chart. For the UK 11.5 size, ensure your foot measurement falls within the specified range. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method.
Can I wear these trainers for marathon running?
The Gel-Kayano 14 offers excellent cushioning and support, making them suitable for many runners. However, for elite marathon running or those requiring highly specialized support, consulting with a running specialist or checking Asics' more performance-focused models might be beneficial.
How often should I clean my Gel-Kayano 14 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty or after significant use. Regular light cleaning will help maintain their appearance and longevity.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Kayano 14 and other Asics models?
The Gel-Kayano 14 is known for its blend of heritage design, GEL cushioning, and versatile support, making it a popular choice for both running and lifestyle wear. Other models might focus more on minimalist design, maximum cushioning, or specific stability features.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 features a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are designed to keep your feet cool and comfortable, but they do not offer protection from heavy rain or immersion in water.
What does 'White/Fjord Grey' refer to in the color description?
'White' refers to the primary color of the shoe, while 'Fjord Grey' indicates a secondary grey shade used in accent or detail areas of the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
This can be normal as the shoes break in. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing athletic socks. If the issue persists after several wears, ensure you have the correct size and width.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL cushioning may gradually compress with extensive use. To extend its life, follow the recommended care instructions. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The outsole provides reliable grip on most dry surfaces, but performance on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider footwear specifically designed for wet traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed for athletic activities like running, training, and walking. They are also suitable for casual everyday wear due to their comfortable and stylish design.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Gel-Kayano 14 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A damp cloth is usually sufficient. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water, then air dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
