FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the delicate mesh and cushioning components. Please clean them by hand.

Can these be used for sports like track and field?

While they are based on running technology, they are now optimized for lifestyle and daily wear rather than high-performance competition.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Gel-Kayano 12.1 features a versatile design and color palette suitable for everyone.

How do I ensure the right fit for my child?

Ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth.

Do the mesh panels allow water to enter?

The breathable mesh is designed for airflow, which means it is not waterproof and will allow water to pass through in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

The mesh upper has collected dust or dirt.

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.

The laces feel loose during walking.

Consider using a runner's loop or double-knotting to ensure a secure lockdown.

Footbed feels less comfortable over time.

Remove the insole to air it out, or replace it with a supportive aftermarket insole if the original has compressed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since they feature mesh panels, it is recommended to spot-clean with a soft brush, mild detergent, and cool water if they get dirty. Avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and cushioning materials. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure fit without restricting circulation, particularly for growing feet.
