FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?
The Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL technology is designed to provide excellent shock absorption during impact, reducing stress on your joints and enhancing comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers offer good cushioning for general training and shorter runs. For marathon distances, professional-grade running shoes with specialized support features might be more appropriate.
How do I find my correct UK size?

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What does FLUIDRIDE technology do?
FLUIDRIDE technology in the midsole provides a combination of bounce-back and cushioning properties, ensuring a smooth and energetic ride throughout your stride.
Is the sockliner removable?
Yes, the sockliner is typically removable, allowing for easier cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if needed.
What is the warranty period for Asics trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or contact the retailer for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Tired feet after prolonged wear
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If discomfort persists, consider adding aftermarket insoles for enhanced arch support or cushioning.
Mesh areas appear dirty or scuffed
Gently clean mesh with a soft brush and mild detergent solution. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
Slipping during lateral movements
While designed for forward motion and general training, these trainers may not provide optimal grip for very dynamic lateral movements. Ensure the outsole is clean for best traction.
Artificial leather material creasing significantly
Creasing is a natural characteristic of faux leather. Wear the shoes in gradually to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Store them properly when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for general athletic activities, walking, and casual daily wear. Not intended for highly specialized sports requiring specific footwear technologies.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the faux leather and mesh areas with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt on mesh, a soft brush can be used gently.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. A mild soap can be used for tougher stains, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Insoles: If the sockliner becomes soiled, it can often be removed for gentle hand washing with mild soap and water, then air dried completely before reinsertion.
