FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 provides excellent cushioning and stability, making it a solid choice for marathon training and racing for many runners, especially those who need support. However, individual needs vary, and some runners might prefer a lighter, more flexible shoe for marathons.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
Can these trainers be used for cross-training in the gym?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers are suitable for many gym activities due to their stability and cushioning. However, for very specific activities like heavy weightlifting, a flatter, more rigid sole might be preferred.
How often should I replace my Gel-Kayano trainers?
For running, it's generally recommended to replace trainers every 300-500 miles. For everyday wear, assess the wear and tear on the cushioning and outsole. If you notice a significant loss of support or cushioning, it's time for a new pair.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Kayano series and other ASICS trainers?
The Gel-Kayano series is specifically designed for stability and maximum cushioning, targeting runners and individuals who need support to control pronation. Other ASICS series might focus more on neutral cushioning, lightweight performance, or trail running.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort, which means they are not intended to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a comfortable but secure fit. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe requires a brief break-in period.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The cushioning may naturally reduce after extensive use. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose and are not subjected to excessive wear. Replacement might be needed after 300-500 miles of running or significant daily wear.
Sole is showing signs of wear.
Inspect the outsole for significant wear patterns. For minor wear, continue use. For severe wear that affects grip or support, consider replacing the shoes.
Discomfort during activity.
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for your foot type and activity. If discomfort persists, consult the product information or a footwear specialist to ensure they are the right shoe for your needs.
