FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers are designed primarily for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activity, they may not provide the specific support and features required for dedicated, high-intensity running.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

These trainers utilize ASICS' FLUIDRIDE cushioning structure combined with GEL inserts in key areas to provide a soft, comfortable, and responsive feel underfoot.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the ASICS size guide available online or with the product information. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. Remember that personal preference for fit can vary.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning structures of the trainers.

What is the difference between the mesh upper and synthetic overlays?

The porous mesh upper is designed for breathability and flexibility, helping to keep your feet cool. The synthetic overlays, inspired by armor, provide structural support and add a unique aesthetic to the shoe.

What colors are available?

The specific product listed is in 'Mineral Beige/Cream'. ASICS may offer this model in other colorways, which can be checked through available product listings.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Try the trainers with different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, consider checking the size guide and potentially trying a half-size up or down, as foot shape can vary. Ensure you are comparing to the correct UK size.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase the time. Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose.

Outer material appears dirty

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh and synthetic areas. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully. Always rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Compatibility: The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. While they offer comfort for walking and light activity, they are not specifically designed for specialized sports performance.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
