Product Information
Full details
The Asics GEL-KAYANO 12.1 Trainers in White/Grey are designed for adult males seeking comfort and style in their footwear. The key benefit is superior cushioning and a responsive ride thanks to advanced GEL and FLUIDRIDE technologies. A minor caveat is that this specific model is made from artificial leather, which may appeal differently to those preferring natural materials. These trainers feature a blend of synthetic leather and mesh for breathability and durability, making them suitable for everyday wear and light training.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 offers excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for comfort and style in everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support features tailored for endurance are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should not feel tight or constricting anywhere.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The synthetic leather and mesh upper offer some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.
What does 'Dope-dyed Recycled Sockliner' mean?
This refers to the insole lining being made from recycled materials that are colored using a process that significantly reduces water usage compared to traditional dyeing methods, making it more environmentally friendly.
How long should I expect these trainers to last?
The lifespan of trainers depends on usage frequency, intensity, and care. With proper care and for general wear, they should provide reliable comfort and support for a significant period, typically several months to over a year.
Is the white and grey colorway available in other sizes?
Yes, this model and colorway are typically available in a range of men's and women's sizes. Please check the product listing for specific size availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure the tongue is centered. If still too tight, consider if this is the correct size or if the shoe requires a break-in period.
Reduced cushioning feel
The cushioning may naturally compress over time with use. Ensure the shoe is clean and free of debris that might affect the sole's performance. For persistent issues, it might be time to consider a replacement.
Discomfort in the forefoot or heel
Ensure the laces are tied correctly to provide appropriate support. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be suitable for your foot type, or an insole might be beneficial.
