FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the Gel-Kayano 12.1 features advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear rather than for intensive professional sports performance.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 12.1 follows standard UK sizing conventions for adult trainers.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper consists of a combination of breathable mesh with open mesh underlays and leather structural overlays.
Where is the shock absorption located?
The shoe features dual GEL technology with specific inserts placed in both the heel and the forefoot for comprehensive impact protection.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh
Use a dry soft brush to gently flick off dried mud, then dab with a damp cloth.
Creasing on leather panels
Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers remain in optimal condition, treat the leather and mesh materials with care. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the bonding of the materials and the efficiency of the GEL units. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Ensure you match your standard UK shoe size, as the structure is built on a standard ergonomic fit.
