Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to increase volume, or consider a thinner pair of socks.
Difficulty cleaning the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt from the mesh pores before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the trainers for short periods during the first week to allow the synthetic overlays and mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or colour fading.
- Laces: Ensure laces are tightened appropriately to avoid excess friction on the eyelets, which helps maintain the structural integrity of the upper.
