FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer and fashion silhouette, rather than a specialized performance running shoe for long-distance racing.
How do I determine my size for the Gel-Kayano 14?
These trainers generally run true to size; it is recommended to use your standard UK footwear size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the adhesive, cushioning, and faux leather materials.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano series is known for its structural stability, which includes reliable support through the midfoot and arch.
What is the primary difference between the leather and nylon versions?
The main difference is the upper material; faux leather offers a slightly more structured, classic finish, while nylon versions may provide more breathability and a lighter feel.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the faux leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize permanent creases.
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean
Apply a light protective spray suitable for synthetic materials to repel dirt and light moisture.
Sensation of heel slippage
Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately at the top eyelet to secure the padded collar against your ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the padded collar to contour to your heel.
- Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents, as these can degrade the synthetic material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the faux leather from cracking or discolouring.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most adult users; however, ensure you select your correct UK size to maintain the integrity of the heel support.
