FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 suitable for pronation?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano series is known for its stability features, designed to help control pronation and provide support for runners who need it.
What is the best way to clean these trainers?
Gently clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap and water. For the interior, use a damp cloth. Always air dry them naturally.
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 when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive movement.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and general training. Trail running may require shoes with more aggressive tread and specific protection.
What is the lifespan of the cushioning?
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness typically lasts between 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of running, depending on running style and surface.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 is available in various colourways. Please check the product listings for other available options.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
While ASICS offers various widths, the standard fit is designed for average foot sizes. It's recommended to try them on or check for wide (2E) or extra-wide (4E) options if available.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
The Gel-Kayano 12.1 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tied correctly and snugly. Check if the shoe size is appropriate for your foot length and width. Consider using the extra eyelets for a more secure heel lock.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While durable, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing your trainers after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of running, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.
