How often should I replace my Gel-Kayano 121 trainers?

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your foot measurement and sock thickness. Consider trying a half-size larger if you experience consistent tightness, especially in the toe box.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The GEL cushioning and structural support are designed for longevity but will naturally degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of running, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort or support.
Color transfer or fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. If color transfer occurs, clean gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
