FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they are engineered for stability and cushioning, making them excellent for training runs and daily exercise.
How do I determine my size?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 follows standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the sock liners are removable, which is convenient if you need to insert personal orthotic devices.
How should I clean the black fabric?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes.
Is this a neutral or stability shoe?
The Gel-Kayano series is primarily known for providing reliable support and stability features.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of discomfort or pressure points
Try adjusting the lacing tightness or using a different lacing pattern to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Visible debris inside the shoe
Remove the sock liner and shake out the debris; use a vacuum attachment if necessary.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Inspect the midsole for permanent creasing or signs of wear; if the foam no longer rebounds, it may be time for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by adjusting the lacing system to your preferred tension, ensuring the midfoot feels locked in without restricting circulation. These shoes are compatible with various standard replacement insoles if you require custom orthotics. For care, keep them clean by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the structural integrity of the GEL inserts and the adhesive bonding. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight.
