FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While based on a runner silhouette, this version is optimized for daily lifestyle wear rather than high-performance distance running.
Do the materials vary between different UK sizes?
Yes, variations such as suede, leather, and faux leather are used across different models in the Gel-Kayano 14 range. Please check the specific material attribute for your chosen size.
How do I maintain the GEL cushioning?
The GEL technology is internal and maintenance-free, provided you keep the shoe dry and avoid subjecting it to extreme temperatures.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof and should not be used in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the integrity of the materials.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Inner heel fabric wearing down
Ensure you fully unlace the shoe before taking it off to avoid friction against the padded collar.
Midsole feels stiff
The Gel-Kayano 14 may require a short break-in period of 3-5 days to allow the upper materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot shape.
Difficulty cleaning light cream accents
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that may discolor the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; verify your specific size before purchase as different materials like suede or leather may have slight variations in stiffness.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For nylon or leather sections, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the trainers in water.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the GEL unit.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of synthetic adhesives and materials.
