ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 - Cream - UK 6.5

While the ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 incorporates advanced cushioning technology inspired by marathon running shoes, it is primarily designed as a comfortable and durable shoe for everyday casual wear, walking, and general daily activities, not for high-performance running.

Gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic panels with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.

This inspiration primarily influences the unique aesthetic of the synthetic panels, adding a distinctive visual element to the shoe's design, blending historical artistry with modern footwear.

The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended to preserve the shoe's materials and comfort.

The term 'everyday beater' implies that these shoes are built with sufficient durability and comfort to withstand the rigors of daily, consistent use, making them a reliable option for your regular activities.

ASICS generally maintains consistent sizing. However, fit can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to try them on or refer to an ASICS size guide if you are unsure.

Check your lacing. Adjust the tightness of the laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. If still an issue, ensure you have the correct size for your feet.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Allow shoes to air out after each use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or insoles that combat odor.

All shoe cushioning can compress over extensive use. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (everyday wear). For optimal comfort, rotate between multiple pairs of shoes.

Spot clean immediately with a mild soap and damp cloth. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
