FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light activities. For marathon running, consider ASICS models specifically engineered for long-distance performance and maximum support.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the main difference between Gel-Kayano models?

Each Gel-Kayano iteration typically introduces updated cushioning technologies, upper materials, and design refinements for improved comfort, support, and performance.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The porous mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. These trainers are not waterproof and will not protect your feet in wet conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and moisture management, athletic socks made from breathable materials like polyester blends or merino wool are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort after first wear

This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the shoes to break in and mold to your feet.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsoles provide good grip, they may be less effective on very wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Follow the care instructions for cleaning the upper using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure complete drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult footwear needs, compatible with casual outfits and athletic wear. They are suitable for users who require a supportive and cushioned shoe for everyday activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt from the cushioning and rubber outsole. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
