FAQs
Is the GEL-KAYANO 14 suitable for long-distance running?
While it features signature GEL cushioning, it is designed as a versatile trainer for gym and casual use rather than a high-performance long-distance running shoe.
How should I clean my trainers?
Use a damp cloth for the upper and a soft brush for the outsole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles can be removed, but it is recommended to use the provided cushioning to maintain the intended support structure.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality nylon, offering a balance of durability and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels less responsive
Ensure the shoe is fully dry and check for compressed debris within the sole; air out the trainers for 24 hours between heavy usage.
Stains on nylon surface
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush; gently scrub in a circular motion and wipe away with a clean, damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GEL-KAYANO 14 trainers last, avoid submerging the nylon material in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to spot-clean any dirt from the exterior. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storage to maintain the structural integrity of the internal cushioning. When selecting your size, ensure you are measuring according to UK standards, as sizing is consistent across the adult range. To maintain the cushion quality, avoid leaving the trainers in high-heat environments like the trunk of a car, which can degrade the GEL technology over time.
