FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Gel-Kayano 12.1 is built for support and comfort, it is primarily categorized as a trainer suitable for walking and daily activities.

How do I determine my correct size?

ASICS sizes typically run consistent with standard adult sizing, but we recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.

Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?

Yes, the internal design allows for the removal of the standard insole to accommodate most low-profile custom orthotic inserts.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles of use, depending on your gait and the surface conditions.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the shoe; hand cleaning is strongly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels tight during long walks

Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel and relieve pressure on the midfoot.

Material appears dusty or stained

Use a damp cloth with gentle circular motions to spot clean; avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, versatile black colorway
  • Reliable support for long-duration wear

  • Specific sizing requires precise measurement for optimal fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers, it is essential to establish a proper break-in period if you are new to performance footwear. When sizing, consider that these shoes are built with a performance fit; if you prefer extra room for swelling during long days, consider the exact sizing provided in the catalog. For care, keep the trainers away from direct heat sources when drying, as extreme heat can degrade the cushioning foam. Clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap, ensuring you remove debris from the outsole tread to maintain traction.
