FAQs
Does the Gel Kayano 12.1 fit true to size?
No. The manufacturer recommends selecting a pair half a size larger than your typical shoe size to ensure proper fit.
What makes the 12.1 series different from standard Kayano models?
The 12.1 features specific design upgrades from the Kith collaboration, including unique gothic-inspired armor aesthetics and specific midsole construction borrowed from the Gel-Nimbus 17.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, the inclusion of Fluidride technology and dual-GEL cushioning is specifically designed to support long-distance running and high-impact activity.
How should I clean the pastel colorways?
Use a gentle, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy brushing, which may damage the mesh or fade the pastel tones.
Are these shoes suitable for orthotic insoles?
While the shoe includes a high-quality cushioned insole, the structure is supportive enough that many users do not require orthotics; however, if you must use them, ensure the stock insole is removed first.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure on the top of the foot
The shoe runs small; ensure you have sized up by at least half a size. If already sized correctly, try a different lacing pattern to reduce tension across the instep.
Reduced airflow during summer use
Ensure the laces are not tied excessively tight and that you are wearing thin, moisture-wicking synthetic running socks to allow the mesh to breathe effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature delicate textile mesh and intricate structural overlays, routine maintenance is essential. To keep the shoes in peak condition, remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush after each run. For deep cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using abrasive washing machines to protect the gel components. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. Always double-check your sizing: due to the specialized internal padding, you should select a size half a step larger than your standard ASICS footwear to account for the snug, structural fit.
