FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers are designed for comfort and cushioning for everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, a shoe specifically engineered for high-mileage performance might be more appropriate.

What is the main benefit of GEL technology in these shoes?

The Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL technology is designed to provide excellent shock absorption during impact phases and helps to create a softer feeling at footstrike.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.

What does 'FLUIDRIDE' technology do?

FLUIDRIDE technology is an Asics cushioning technology that provides a combination of lightweight, bounce-back, and durability, contributing to a responsive and comfortable ride.

Is the artificial leather upper durable?

The layered synthetic leather upper is designed for durability and structure. However, like all materials, its longevity depends on usage and care.

What does 'dope-dyed' mean for the sockliner?

Dope-dyeing is a process that uses less water and generates fewer carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods. It is applied to the recycled mesh sockliner for environmental sustainability.

Where are these trainers manufactured?

These trainers are manufactured in Extra EU (Extra European Union).

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and allow the materials to naturally stretch with wear. If the tightness is significant, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different lacing technique might help.

Reduced cushioning over time

While FLUIDRIDE and GEL technologies are durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., extreme sports).

Discomfort on the sides of the foot

This could be due to the lacing system or the fit. Try adjusting the lacing to be looser or tighter in specific areas. Ensure the width of the shoe is appropriate for your foot.
