ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 - Black - Silver - UK 6

The Gel-Kayano 12.1 is ideal for runners who need stability and cushioning, particularly those who are mild to moderate overpronators. It's designed for road running.

This iteration builds upon the legacy of the Gel-Kayano series, offering refined performance and style. Specific updates usually involve material enhancements and slight adjustments to the cushioning and support systems for an improved ride.

While versatile, the Gel-Kayano 12.1 is primarily optimized for running. For cross-training activities in the gym, a shoe with more lateral support might be more suitable.

If your foot rolls inward excessively (overpronation) after landing, or if you experience common running injuries like shin splints or plantar fasciitis, a stability shoe can be beneficial. Observing your worn-out shoes can also give clues; if the wear is concentrated on the inner edge, you might benefit from stability.

The lifespan typically ranges from 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 kilometers), depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Regular inspection for wear and tear is recommended.

No, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and performance in various weather, but not for complete water submersion or heavy rain.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or a wider fit if available. Break-in period may be required.

The cushioning is designed to adapt to your foot. If you notice a significant loss of cushioning, check for excessive wear on the outsole and midsole. Consult product information for expected lifespan.

The outsole offers good traction on dry and moderately wet surfaces. For very slick conditions, extra caution is advised. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
