FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?

While the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 features cushioning technology derived from running shoes, it is optimized as a lifestyle trainer and not recommended for professional marathon training.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The FLUIDRIDE structure offers a supportive platform that provides moderate arch support suitable for daily casual wear.

How do I determine my size?

The models are listed in standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to use your current size in other Asics athletic models for the best match.

Are the materials water-resistant?

The mesh and synthetic overlays are not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to keep the materials clean and durable.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the structural overlays and break down the cushioning components. Hand cleaning is strongly advised.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the Dragon Fruit mesh

Gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh scrubbing that could fray the mesh fibers.

Laces becoming untied during activity

Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' or double knotting to maintain tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Asics GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  • Sizing: These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; verify your fit before purchase as the synthetic overlays may provide a snug, structured feel.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials and weaken adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the upper and the integrity of the foam cushioning.
