FAQs
Is the Gel-Kayano 12.1 suitable for running?
While it features performance technology like FLUIDRIDE, this model is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear.
How do I ensure I order the right size?
The trainers follow standard UK sizing; we recommend selecting your usual shoe size, but remember to consider the thickness of socks you typically wear.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 12.1 is available in various size ranges and styles suitable for all genders.
How do I maintain the iridescent finish?
Avoid abrasive surfaces and harsh cleaning solvents. Simply wipe with a clean, soft, damp cloth.
Does the mesh upper provide good breathability?
Yes, the mesh upper is designed to provide ventilation, keeping your feet comfortable during warmer weather or extended periods of walking.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or debris in the mesh upper
Gently vacuum the mesh areas with a brush attachment or use a dry, soft-bristled brush to sweep debris away.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the rubber tread with warm soapy water and a stiff brush to remove compacted dirt or oil build-up.
Creasing in the metallic overlays
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the upper maintain its shape and prevent deep, permanent creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh panels and wipe down the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the metallic finish on the overlays and damage the cushioning structure. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the iridescent elements. Ensure you choose the correct UK size for your foot shape to maintain the intended support of the GEL inserts.
