FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
While it uses marathon-proven midsole technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle and walking trainer.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 generally fits true to standard UK athletic sizing, though the leather upper may feel firmer than fabric shoes.
How do I clean the metallic parts of the shoe?
Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe metallic areas; avoid abrasive scrubbing which can remove the finish.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics.
Are these shoes unisex?
While some models are listed for specific genders, the design is versatile; please refer to the specific size guide for the model you are purchasing.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness in the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing technique to 'runner's loop' or loosen the laces significantly to allow the leather structure to expand.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirt buildup in mesh ventilation
Use a gentle pressurized air duster or a soft toothbrush to dislodge debris from the open mesh underlays.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Marathon-tested cushioning system
- Unique gothic-armor aesthetic
- Excellent ventilation through mesh panels
- Robust construction for daily wear
Cons
- Leather construction may require a short break-in period
- Design leans towards lifestyle-fashion rather than pure performance running
- Available in specific size and color variations that may sell out quickly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature leather and mesh components, regular care is necessary to maintain their appearance. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh, and a damp, lint-free cloth for the leather sections. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the metallic finishes. For compatibility, ensure you verify your UK sizing as ASICS performance sizing can vary slightly compared to casual fashion brands. It is recommended to store these shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or color fading over time.
