FAQs
Are these shoes good for long-distance running?
While the Gel-Kayano 12.1 is built on a running shoe foundation with GEL cushioning, its current iteration is more geared towards lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated long-distance running, ASICS offers specific performance running models that might be more suitable.
How do I find the right size?
It is recommended to consult the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or product pages. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart will help ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 features a removable insole, which typically allows space for custom orthotics or insoles. However, fit may vary depending on the size and shape of the orthotic.
What is the primary difference between this and older Gel-Kayano models?
The Gel-Kayano 12.1 has evolved from a pure performance running shoe to incorporate more contemporary street fashion elements, while still retaining core comfort and support features from its running heritage.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Regular cleaning after use, especially if exposed to dirt or moisture, is recommended. Deep cleaning should be done as needed based on the shoe's condition.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The mesh panels offer breathability, which means they are not waterproof. They are designed for comfort in dry or mildly damp conditions, but not for heavy rain or submersion.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consult the ASICS size guide if unsure.
Discomfort during wear.
Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic footwear. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider if the shoe is suitable for your foot type and activity.
Mesh panels appear dirty.
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the mesh areas. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
