Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing during first wear

This is common with new performance footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are tied correctly for optimal support.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning technology may degrade after extensive use (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the trainers to maintain optimal support and shock absorption.

Slipping heel

Check the lacing technique. Try a 'heel lock' lacing method to secure the heel more firmly. Ensure the correct shoe size and width have been selected.

Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers are designed for running and general athletic activities. They are compatible with various running surfaces, including roads, treadmills, and light trails. They are suitable for adult male runners.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
