FAQs
Are the GEL-Kayano 12.1 trainers suitable for running?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for daily wear and walking comfort rather than technical long-distance running.
How should I clean the metallic sections?
Wipe the metallic structure carefully with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
Does this shoe come in a wide fit?
The model features a standard fit. If you typically require a wider shoe, you may find the standard width snug.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper consists of a breathable mesh base with structural leather overlays.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional support.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?
Yes, they generally follow standard ASICS sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific UK size guide for your fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft brush to gently whisk away dust, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.
Creasing on the leather elements
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the material retain its shape and prevent deep creases.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot if the provided laces feel slippery due to the material texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature leather and mesh elements, they should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. To clean the upper mesh, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for any stains. Do not submerge the shoes in water. For the leather components, use a specialized leather cleaner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Ensure the laces are adjusted to the standard fit, which is designed for a secure, comfortable lock-down for average-width feet.
