Does this model work for wide feet?

Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the sole
This is characteristic of a stability shoe. Gradually increase usage duration to allow the foot to adapt.
Surface dirt on the silver accents
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp microfiber cloth to gently clean the reflective panels to avoid scratching.
Slipping during use
Ensure laces are properly adjusted to lock the heel in place, and check the outsole for debris that may have collected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 12.1s, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the toe box for maximum comfort.
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations during the first week to allow the structured materials to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submersion in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the integrity of the cushioning and adhesives.
- Rotation: If using for daily exercise, allow the shoes to rest for 24 hours between heavy sessions to allow the foam to decompress.
