Your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 sneakers require no complex setup. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred comfort, and you're ready to go. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to allow the shoes to naturally break-in and adapt to your foot shape.
These sneakers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are compatible with a wide range of everyday activities such as walking, social gatherings, and light urban exploration. While they incorporate performance-inspired technologies, they are not specifically engineered for high-intensity athletic training, competitive running, or demanding outdoor terrain. Their aesthetic blends well with various casual and streetwear outfits.
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your GEL-KAYANO 14 sneakers:
Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and synthetic upper, gently wipe any dirt or scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which can damage the material or color.
Cleaning the Sole: The foam midsole and rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Use a soft brush for intricate areas to remove trapped dirt.
Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can cause materials to warp, crack, or fade.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not wash your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity, cushioning, and adhesives of the shoe.
