FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on performance engineering, the 12.1 series is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday use rather than high-performance running.
How do I determine if this size fits?
This model is sized in standard UK adult men's sizing; if you are between sizes, we recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the gel cushioning. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Is the material breathable?
The materials used in the Gel-Kayano 12.1 offer a balance of durability and airflow suitable for all-day casual wear.
How should I store them when not in use?
Keep them in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material quality.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long wear
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly and consider if the shoe has reached the end of its intended material lifespan.
Surface stains on the upper material
Gently spot clean with a dedicated trainer cleaner or a mild soapy solution on a microfiber cloth, avoiding excessive moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers remain in peak condition, consider the following care steps:
- Sizing: These shoes are designed for an adult male fit. Ensure you check your specific UK size, as the 8.5 provides a standard athletic fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them in a tumble dryer or directly on a heat source, as this can warp the gel units and damage the structural adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
