Product Information
Full details
The Asics GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers are designed for adult athletes seeking superior comfort and support during their activities. Their key benefit lies in advanced cushioning and a responsive ride, making them ideal for performance. A potential caveat is that they are primarily constructed with artificial leather, which may be a consideration for those seeking vegan footwear. These trainers feature a blend of faux leather and mesh for durability and breathability, incorporating Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL technology for shock absorption and FLUIDRIDE technology for efficient energy return. The use of a dope-dyed recycled sockliner mesh also contributes to their sustainable design and breathability.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or consider if the lacing needs adjustment. For persistent tightness, consider a half-size larger or consult retailer for exchange options.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat or moisture, which can degrade materials. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.
Discomfort during activity
Verify that the shoes are appropriate for the activity. Ensure the lacing is correct for your foot type. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a professional for gait analysis or foot support needs.
