Clean by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and air dry naturally away from heat.
What is FLUIDRIDE technology?
FLUIDRIDE is an Asics technology that provides a combination of bounce-back and cushioning properties with reduced weight, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride.
Are these shoes suitable for walking?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers offer excellent cushioning and support, making them comfortable for walking, especially for individuals who spend long hours on their feet.
What is the benefit of the GEL technology?

What does 'recycled sockliner mesh' mean?
It indicates that a portion of the material used for the sockliner (the lining inside the shoe) is made from recycled resources, contributing to sustainability efforts.
How long do these trainers typically last?
With proper care and regular use for running, Asics trainers like the Gel-Kayano 12.1 typically last between 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning and support begin to degrade significantly.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are not over-tightened. Wear with appropriate athletic socks and allow for a break-in period of a few runs.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The cushioning may naturally decrease over extended mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of use, or when noticeable degradation in support occurs.
Soles appear worn
Normal wear and tear is expected with regular use. Inspect for excessive wear on the heel or forefoot, which may indicate it's time for a replacement.
