FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 incorporates GEL-NIMBUS 17 midsole tooling, dual GEL inserts, and FLUIDRIDE cushioning, technologies praised by marathon runners. They are well-suited for everyday running, walking, and general daily wear.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to ASICS' official size chart. As a general guide, ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

What is the difference between GEL and FLUIDRIDE cushioning?

GEL technology provides targeted shock absorption at key impact points (like the heel and forefoot). FLUIDRIDE is a two-layer midsole construction that offers enhanced bounce-back and cushioning properties with reduced weight, working together for comprehensive comfort.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties. Always clean your trainers by hand following the care instructions provided in this guide.

What does 'everyday beater' mean?

The term 'everyday beater' indicates that the trainers are built to be durable and comfortable enough for consistent, regular use. They are designed to withstand the rigors of daily wear without compromising on performance or comfort.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Adjust lacing evenly across the foot. Experiment with different lacing techniques. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size for your foot.

Squeaking sound while walking

Often caused by moisture or friction between the insole and sole. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. A thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch between the insole and the shoe's base can also help.

Minor scuffs or dirt on synthetic panels

Wipe immediately with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap on the cloth and gently rub, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.

Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers

Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers and leave overnight, then tap out. Ensure trainers dry completely after wear. Consider using athletic shoe deodorizers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Using your ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers is straightforward.

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded securely through all eyelets.
  2. Fit: Slip on the trainers and tie laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. You should have about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adults and offer a standard fit (UK 7 for this specific variant). They are suitable for various foot types, but individual comfort may vary. Always try them on to confirm the best fit for you.

Care:

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers.

  • Cleaning the Mesh Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) and a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the mesh in a circular motion, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Cleaning Synthetic Panels: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the synthetic panels. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Odour Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
