FAQs

Who is the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 designed for?

These trainers are designed for adults seeking a comfortable and supportive shoe for everyday wear, especially during transitional seasons.

What makes the cushioning special?

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 features FLUIDRIDE cushioning for a smooth ride and GEL inserts for enhanced shock absorption and comfort.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsoles provide grip, the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

How should I clean my GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers?

Clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.

What is the primary benefit of the synthetic overlays?

The synthetic overlays provide a technical aesthetic inspired by medieval armour and add structural support to the shoe.

Are these suitable for professional athletic training?

They are designed for general training and everyday comfort, not for specialized, high-impact professional sports.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in various adult UK sizes. Please check the product listing for specific size availability.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Check if the laces are tied too tightly or too loosely.

Reduced grip

Clean the rubber outsoles with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Mesh upper looks dirty

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Blot with a clean, damp cloth to rinse and allow to air dry.
