The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 is designed as a versatile trainer, offering excellent comfort and support for various athletic activities including running and gym workouts.
Is this trainer suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Kayano series is known for its stability features, which can be beneficial for runners who overpronate. If you have flat feet and overpronate, this trainer may offer good support.
How should I clean my Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers?
Clean your trainers by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.
What does the 'Gel' in Gel-Kayano refer to?
The 'Gel' refers to ASICS' proprietary GEL cushioning system, strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock and provide a comfortable ride.
Can I wear these trainers for everyday casual use?
While the Gel-Kayano 12.1 offers comfort, it is primarily engineered for performance training. They can be worn casually, but their advanced features are best utilized during athletic activities.
What is the difference between this model and older Gel-Kayano versions?
Each new Gel-Kayano version typically features incremental updates to cushioning, stability technologies, and materials for improved performance and comfort based on ongoing research and development.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with breathable materials for athletic performance, which means they will allow air in but are not resistant to water.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try adjusting the laces for a more customized fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or model.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The cushioning in trainers can degrade with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support, typically after several hundred miles of running or equivalent training.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for debris or wear. Clean the outsole with a brush. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to replace the shoes.
