Product Information
Full details
The Asics GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers are designed for adult women seeking superior comfort and support during their activities. Their key benefit lies in exceptional cushioning and a smooth ride, thanks to advanced GEL and FLUIDRIDE technologies. A potential consideration is that they are made from 100% artificial leather, which may not appeal to those seeking natural materials. These trainers feature a layered synthetic leather upper with breathable mesh underlays, a secure front lace-up fastening, and stylish contrasting inserts. The dope-dyed recycled sockliner mesh enhances breathability and sustainability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for pronation?
The GEL-KAYANO series is known for its support features. While this guide focuses on comfort and cushioning, the GEL-KAYANO line typically offers stability elements that can help with pronation. Consult with a footwear specialist for personalized advice.
What is the primary use for the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running, offering excellent cushioning and support for neutral to slightly overpronating runners. They are also comfortable for general fitness activities and daily wear.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?
For the mesh underlays, use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub away dirt. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, cushioning technologies, and adhesives, potentially compromising the shoe's integrity and performance.
What does '12.1' signify in the product name?
The number typically indicates a specific iteration or update within the GEL-KAYANO series, suggesting advancements or modifications from previous models.
How does the artificial leather hold up compared to real leather?
High-quality artificial leather, like that used in these trainers, offers good durability and is easier to clean. It provides a similar aesthetic and performance without the environmental impact associated with animal products.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. Wear with thinner socks if necessary. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL and FLUIDRIDE technologies are designed for durability, but cushioning naturally diminishes with extensive use. Consider replacing the trainers after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles for running shoes).
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or baby powder under the insole or in the tongue area.
