Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of comfort, support, and style in their athletic footwear. Key benefits include superior shock absorption through GEL technology and excellent traction from the rubber outsole. A potential consideration is that the porous mesh upper, while breathable, may offer less protection in wet conditions. These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper with synthetic overlays, FLUIDRIDE cushioning, and GEL inserts for enhanced comfort and stability, all in a distinctive 'Ice Green' colourway.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers offer excellent cushioning and support, making them suitable for long-distance running. However, for professional marathon runners, testing them during training is recommended to ensure they meet personal performance needs.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness across the width of your foot.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers, as this can damage the materials and affect the cushioning and support structure. Hand wash or spot clean as per the care instructions.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is integrated into the midsole to provide superior shock absorption. It effectively disperses impact forces, reducing stress on your feet, ankles, and knees.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The upper is made from a porous mesh material designed for breathability, not waterproofing. These trainers are not waterproof and will not offer protection in wet conditions.
What is the difference between the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 and other ASICS models?
The GEL-KAYANO series is typically known for its stability and cushioning, aimed at runners who need support. Specific features and cushioning technologies may vary between models and series.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with appropriate athletic socks. Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Reduced grip over time
Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Inspect the tread for significant wear; replacement may be necessary if the tread is significantly diminished.
Upper mesh feels restrictive
The mesh is designed for a snug fit and support. If it feels too tight, ensure the lacing is adjusted appropriately. Persistent restriction may indicate an incorrect size.
