Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 Trainers in White/Grey are designed for adult males seeking a blend of style and advanced comfort for daily wear or light training. Their key benefit lies in superior cushioning and a smooth ride, thanks to GEL and FLUIDRIDE technologies. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific sizing, as the shoe corresponds to a US 9.5, which may require careful conversion for those accustomed to different sizing systems. These trainers feature a durable faux leather upper with breathable mesh, a secure lace-up fastening, and a modern aesthetic with contrasting inserts.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If the tightness persists, consider if this is the correct size for your foot. The lace-up system allows for some adjustment.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the laces are tied correctly for proper support. If discomfort continues, the shoe's specific cushioning or fit may not be ideal for your foot type or activity. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions to break them in. If the noise persists, ensure there is no debris trapped in the sole or laces.
