FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While these trainers offer excellent support and cushioning, they are primarily designed for versatile daily use and casual activity rather than specialized professional long-distance racing.
Do I need to break in the shoes?
Most users find them comfortable out of the box, but a short walk-in period is recommended to allow the materials to contour to your foot shape.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you require the use of custom orthotics.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend measuring your foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and referring to the standard UK sizing guide for the most accurate fit.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural components of the shoe; manual cleaning is highly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'window' lacing method, to alleviate pressure on the top of your arch.
Inner lining showing signs of wear
Ensure you are fully unlacing the shoes before putting them on or taking them off to prevent friction damage to the heel counter.
Surface dirt is difficult to remove
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush with a mild soap solution, gently scrubbing the affected area before wiping clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics GEL Kayano 12.1 trainers, proper care is essential. When first putting them on, ensure the laces are adjusted to support the midfoot without restricting blood flow. Compatibility with your daily wardrobe is high, thanks to the neutral silver and black color scheme. For cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp, soft cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the specialized materials used in the sole and upper construction. Air dry them away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape of the foam.
