FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

While the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 offers good cushioning, they are primarily designed as a versatile trainer for daily wear and moderate athletic activities. For marathon-specific needs, consider models with advanced stability and cushioning features tailored for long-distance running.

Can I wear these shoes with orthotics or insoles?

Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or alternative insoles. Ensure the fit remains comfortable with the added insert.

What is the main difference between the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 and other ASICS models?

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 emphasizes a balance of style and comfort for everyday wear, featuring modern aesthetics with reliable cushioning. Other ASICS models may focus more on specific performance aspects like maximalist cushioning, lightweight racing, or advanced stability for severe overpronation.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or consult with a shoe fitting specialist. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately and compare it to the provided size guide.

What does 'FLUIDRIDE' cushioning refer to?

FLUIDRIDE is an ASICS midsole technology that provides a combination of bounce-back and cushioning properties. It's designed to be lightweight yet durable, offering comfort and energy return.

Are the 'Gravel' overlays made of actual stone?

No, the 'Gravel' overlays are synthetic materials designed to evoke the appearance and texture of medieval armour, providing structural support and a unique aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing in specific areas

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. Check for any internal seams or debris that might be causing irritation.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The FLUIDRIDE cushioning and GEL inserts are designed for durability, but their responsiveness may decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant performance degradation occurs after prolonged wear.

Slipping or lack of traction

Ensure the rubber outsoles are clean and free from debris. The traction may be reduced on wet or exceptionally smooth surfaces. For very wet conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for specific wet traction needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general athletic use and casual wear. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic apparel.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials.
