FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While the Gel-Kayano 12.1 has roots in running shoe design and offers good cushioning, they are now marketed as lifestyle trainers. For serious marathon running, specialized, more advanced running shoes might be a better choice.

How do I clean the mesh panels?

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub the mesh. Blot with a clean, damp cloth to remove residue. Allow to air dry completely.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?

The GEL cushioning technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a comfortable and supportive feel underfoot and reducing impact on joints.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The mesh panels offer breathability but may not be waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect comfort and material integrity.

What is the main difference between the original running shoe version and this street fashion edition?

This edition retains the comfort and support technologies of the original running shoe but is adapted with aesthetic updates for a contemporary street style, making it more versatile for everyday fashion.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy, as warranty information can vary. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. Allow a break-in period as the shoes may stretch slightly with wear.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear.

Discomfort during prolonged walking

Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are laced properly for support. Consider using insoles designed for extra cushioning or arch support if needed.
