ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 Trainers - Green - UK 5.5

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers offer good cushioning and support, making them suitable for shorter to moderate runs. For marathons, consider consulting with a running specialist to find shoes specifically designed for extreme distances and long-term impact.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness across the width of your foot.

The insoles are typically removable, allowing space for custom orthotics. However, fit may vary, so it's recommended to try them on with your orthotics if possible.

The GEL inserts are designed to provide superior shock absorption, reducing the impact on your feet and joints during activities like running and jumping.

For optimal performance and to prevent injuries, it's generally recommended to replace running or training shoes every 300-500 miles or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning.

No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but not for heavy rain or puddles.

FLUIDRIDE refers to the midsole cushioning technology, offering a blend of bounce-back and shock absorption. GEL inserts are specific components within the midsole that provide targeted shock absorption, particularly in the heel and forefoot.

This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.

Ensure the rubber outsoles are clean and free from debris. For very slick surfaces, be mindful of your footing as no outsole provides universal grip.

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.
