FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature heritage performance technology like GEL cushioning and Fluidride, they are best suited for light exercise and everyday casual wear.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, never place your trainers in a dryer. Excessive heat can degrade the adhesives and warp the synthetic materials.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for additional support.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest and consult the ASICS size guide based on your UK size requirements.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic leather for a balance of airflow and durability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt trapped in the mesh
Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the mesh pores before wiping with a damp cloth.
Creasing on the synthetic leather overlays
Insert a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its shape and minimize permanent creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers remain in optimal condition, avoid machine washing. For routine maintenance, wipe the synthetic leather overlays with a soft, damp cloth and use a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from the open-mesh fabric. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage. These trainers are designed for standard adult foot sizes and offer a consistent fit across the series; however, ensure you select your correct UK size to maintain the integrity of the footbed support.
