FAQs
What makes the GEL-Kayano 12.1 unique?

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While they feature cushioning technology originally engineered for marathons, their design is more of a lifestyle and casual trainer. For competitive marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.
How should I clean the leather overlays?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the leather overlays. Avoid using strong cleaning agents.
What is the inspiration behind the upper design?
The upper design is inspired by the structural and metallic properties of European gothic armor.
Can these trainers be worn in hot weather?

Troubleshooting
Tingling or numbness in feet
Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, the cushioning or fit may not be suitable for your foot type.
Reduced airflow or overheating
Ensure the mesh underlays are clear of debris. If the issue persists, consider this model's breathability might not meet expectations in extremely hot conditions.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them more to break them in. If it persists, check if any part of the sole is rubbing against the upper.
