FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the GEL-Kayano 12.1 uses performance-inspired technology, this specific model is marketed primarily as a lifestyle trainer.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 runs true to standard UK adult sizes; if you have wide feet, you may consider sizing up by a half-size.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing can damage the leather components and degrade the adhesive layers of the midsole.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper combines durable leather overlays with breathable mesh underlays.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner can be removed if you need to replace it with a personal orthotic.
Does the metallic finish peel off?
If properly maintained and kept away from harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces, the finish is designed to be long-lasting.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and mild detergent, then blot dry.
Metallic finish appearing dull
Wipe with a specialized leather-safe soft cloth to remove dust and restore the luster.
Insole slippage
Ensure the shoe is dry inside; if slippage persists, reseat the factory insole firmly against the heel cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mesh areas with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoe, especially the leather panels, as this can warp the material.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place your shoes near a radiator or direct heat source, which may degrade the GEL inserts or crack the leather.
- Maintenance: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the metallic-inspired finish from fading or discoloring.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. If you prefer to use custom orthotic insoles, the factory sockliner is removable to provide additional volume.
