The Gel-Kayano 12.1 offers a standard unisex fit with a breathable mesh upper that accommodates a variety of foot shapes comfortably.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the GEL cushioning and adhesive bonds.

While they utilize high-performance running technology, they are primarily positioned as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear.
Do they provide arch support?
Yes, they feature the classic supportive architecture consistent with the ASICS Gel-Kayano series.
Is the sizing consistent for men and women?
Yes, as a unisex model, the sizing follows a standard progression, but we recommend checking your specific UK size equivalent.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long wear
Ensure the laces are tensioned evenly across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.
Mesh panels appearing dusty
Use a dry microfiber cloth or soft brush to lift dust from the fabric weave; avoid submerging in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: The shoes provide immediate comfort, though the GEL technology will settle into your unique foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh panels. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading and the materials from becoming brittle.
- Fit: The unisex sizing ensures a consistent fit across the 12.1 series; consult local sizing charts if you are transitioning from different ASICS models.
