FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 are designed for everyday comfort and light athletic use. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance impact are recommended.

How do I determine the right size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart, paying attention to the UK and EUR conversions. Trying them on in-store or checking customer reviews for sizing feedback can also be helpful.

Can I wear these with orthotic insoles?

Yes, the trainers are designed to accommodate standard insoles, and you can typically replace the existing insole with your custom orthotics for added support.

What is the main difference between this model and other ASICS trainers?

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 features a specific combination of FLUIDRIDE cushioning and GEL inserts, along with a unique upper design inspired by armor, offering a distinct balance of comfort, support, and style within the ASICS range.

How long should I expect these trainers to last?

With proper care and moderate use, ASICS trainers typically offer good durability. Lifespan varies based on usage frequency, activity type, and individual gait, but regular wearers might expect 300-500 miles of activity before significant performance degradation.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems of the trainers. Hand wash or spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure correct sizing. Try wearing with different socks or breaking them in with shorter periods of wear.

Reduced cushioning effect

The FLUIDRIDE cushioning and GEL inserts are designed for longevity, but may feel less responsive over extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that could affect performance.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsoles offer grip, they may be less effective on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup beyond trying them on for fit. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the FLUIDRIDE cushioning and rubber outsoles with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and structure.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and moisture.
