FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, the Gel-Kayano 12.1 features advanced cushioning and stability features designed to support distance running.

Can I use these for cross-training?

The stable construction makes them suitable for various training activities, though they are optimized for forward-motion running.

How should I clean the exterior?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not submerge in water or use harsh chemicals.

Is the sizing true to fit?

They generally follow standard UK sizing, but it is recommended to ensure your size is verified based on the fit of your current athletic footwear.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from lightweight, breathable polyester designed for maximum ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of tightness in the midfoot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be less restrictive across the top of the foot.

Accumulation of dust in the mesh

Use a can of compressed air or a soft dry brush to dislodge debris from the breathable upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers, keep them away from excessive moisture and heat sources that could compromise the adhesive or foam integrity. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the structural overlays. Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness to match your UK size, as the supportive fit is designed to hug the foot securely.
