FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While these trainers offer excellent support and cushioning, they are primarily designed for general fitness, gym workouts, and daily wear.
How do I determine my size?
The trainers use standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size that matches your standard footwear fit.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the internal liners are designed to be removable, which is helpful for cleaning or replacing with custom orthotics.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural support and cushioning properties. Always clean by hand.
Is the design unisex?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 12.1 is designed with a neutral fit and aesthetic suitable for all genders.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of materials and color fading.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly from the bottom up to secure the midfoot.
Accumulated dirt on the outer mesh
Gently scrub with a mild detergent and a soft brush, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
Uncomfortable pressure points
Check that the tongue is centered and the laces are not too tight over the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers, start by confirming your correct UK size for a precise fit. Before the first use, consider a brief break-in period by wearing them for shorter intervals to allow the internal materials to contour to your foot. Compatibility is high for most foot types, though those with specific orthotic needs may find the removable insole accommodates custom inserts well. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush and wipe with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can degrade the integrity of the Gel cushioning and structural adhesives.
