FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?

Is the sizing true to size?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 generally follows standard UK sizing; however, individual fit preference for sports shoes may suggest trying them on or comparing to your current trainers.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the adhesives and the cushioning foam. Spot cleaning is the safest method.

What is the primary material?

Troubleshooting
Visible surface stains on the grey upper
Gently clean the affected area using a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with a mild detergent and allow to air dry.
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot and consider using a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to secure the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK adult shoe size, as the Gel-Kayano 12.1 is designed to provide a secure, locked-in feel. For maintenance, it is recommended to spot-clean the fabric upper with a soft cloth and mild soap solution rather than machine washing, which can compromise the structural integrity of the internal cushioning. Always allow the trainers to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which may degrade the adhesives or deform the sole materials.
