FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers are primarily designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and performance features required for dedicated running activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart. Trying them on, ideally later in the day when feet are slightly swollen, can also help ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems of the trainers.
What is the main difference between this model and other ASICS trainers?
The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 features a specific combination of FLUIDRIDE cushioning and GEL inserts, along with a unique synthetic overlay design inspired by armour, tailored for everyday comfort and style.
How durable are the rubber outsoles?
The rubber outsoles are designed for durability and provide reliable traction for everyday use. However, wear and tear will depend on the frequency and intensity of use.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
This specific product listing is for women's trainers. ASICS often produces similar models in men's sizing, but it's important to check the product specifications for gender suitability.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these?
For optimal comfort and breathability, athletic or performance socks made from moisture-wicking materials are recommended. Standard cotton socks can also be worn for casual use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing the correct size socks. If still tight, wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to naturally mold to your feet, or consider using a shoe stretcher.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The FLUIDRIDE and GEL cushioning may compress over time. While this model offers lasting comfort, prolonged heavy use may eventually reduce its initial responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are clean, as debris can sometimes affect feel.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Check the rubber outsoles for wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsoles thoroughly. If the outsoles are significantly worn, replacement might be considered.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are compatible with standard socks and suitable for a wide range of casual attire. To care for your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic parts with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Cleaning the Soles: Use a brush or cloth to remove dirt from the rubber outsoles. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
