FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers offer excellent cushioning and support, making them well-suited for the demands of marathon training and racing.
Can I wear these if I have flat feet?
The Gel-Kayano series is designed to provide support and stability, which can be beneficial for runners with flat feet or mild overpronation. However, for severe pronation, consulting a specialist might be advised.
How do I clean the silver and red colorway?
Clean using a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main difference between Gel-Kayano models?
Each new Gel-Kayano iteration typically brings updates in cushioning technology, upper materials, weight, and overall ride feel, aiming for incremental improvements in performance and comfort.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed for breathability and performance. They are not waterproof and may become saturated in wet conditions.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With regular use for running (3-5 times a week), the cushioning and support typically start to degrade after 300-500 miles. Exterior wear may become apparent sooner depending on usage and surface.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect (too tight/loose)
Ensure you have measured your foot correctly and selected the appropriate UK size. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a half-size larger or smaller, or consult a shoe fitting guide.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning may naturally degrade after significant mileage. Check the sole for wear and consider replacement if the shoes have been used extensively (typically over 300-500 miles).
Outer material showing wear
Minor scuffs can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more significant wear, professional shoe repair may be an option, but these are designed for athletic use and wear is expected.
