Yes, these are designed according to standard UK adult sizing metrics for a reliable, supportive fit.
No, machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and GEL inserts. Stick to manual cleaning with a damp cloth.

Use a soft, dry brush to gently sweep away particles before they become embedded.
Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the internal structure and minimize natural leather creasing.
Ensure the shoe is fully dry and check that no debris has compressed the outsole traction; if the GEL feels hard, it may indicate excessive cold storage.
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers last, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since these feature a combination of leather and mesh, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh panels regularly. For the leather sections, a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner can prevent cracking. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the GEL inserts and structural adhesives. These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing, so users should select their typical sneaker size for the best fit. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape of the materials.
