FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 features GEL cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and streetwear. For long-distance or high-impact running, specialized running shoes offering advanced support and cushioning are recommended.
What materials are the shoes made of?
The shoes are made of 100% artificial leather for the upper, featuring synthetic leather overlays and open mesh underlays for breathability. The sockliner mesh is made from dope-dyed recycled materials.
How do I clean the faux leather parts?
Wipe the faux leather parts with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a dedicated faux leather cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives of the trainers.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology, located in the rearfoot and forefoot, is designed to absorb shock during impact and provide a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off, enhancing overall comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for women?
The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 series includes variants for both men and women. Please check the specific product listing for the correct gender sizing.
What does 'dope-dyed recycled sockliner mesh' mean?
Dope-dyeing is a process that colors the yarn before it's extruded, using less water and energy compared to traditional dyeing methods. This contributes to the sustainability of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try lacing them slightly looser. If the issue persists, consider a half-size larger or consult sizing charts.
Discomfort during wear
Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Ensure they are laced correctly for your foot type. Check for any internal seams or tags causing irritation.
Fading color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store in a shaded area. Clean with appropriate mild cleaning agents.
Mesh panels are dirty
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
