Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources that could damage the leather elements. When cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh, and wipe the leather overlays with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Because these trainers are constructed with specific support technologies, ensure you choose the correct size to benefit from the intended alignment of the GEL cushioning units.
