FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers are designed primarily for comfort and style in everyday wear. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the specialized support required for serious training.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What does the 'GEL' in GEL-KAYANO refer to?
The 'GEL' technology refers to ASICS' proprietary cushioning system, which uses silicone-based gel inserts in the midsole to absorb shock and provide a soft landing.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. While the rubber outsole provides grip, prolonged exposure to heavy rain might affect comfort and the longevity of the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design draws inspiration from medieval armour, reflected in the synthetic overlays that provide a technical and structured aesthetic.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure on the sides of your feet.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the official ASICS website or the retailer's policy for specific details on the warranty applicable to your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try removing the insole and allowing the shoe to air dry completely. If the issue persists, it might be due to the outsole rubbing against the midsole.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning materials may compress with prolonged use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for casual wear. Rotating with other footwear can help extend the life of the cushioning.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consult the troubleshooting section on lacing techniques or consider if the shoe's design is suited to your foot shape.
