FAQs

What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?

The GEL cushioning system is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced comfort and reducing stress on your joints.

What is FLUIDRIDE® technology?

FLUIDRIDE® is ASICS' technology that provides the ultimate combination of cushioning and bounce-back characteristics, ensuring a smooth and dynamic ride.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

The Gel-Kayano 12.1 offers good cushioning and a smooth ride, making them suitable for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. For highly specialized running needs (e.g., trail running, competitive racing), other ASICS models might be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I wear these shoes for casual use?

Yes, the retro-inspired design and comfortable cushioning make them a stylish and practical choice for everyday wear and streetwear.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is made from a combination of lightweight textile and synthetic materials to ensure breathability and protection.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

Cushioning materials can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacement after a significant number of miles or years of regular wear.

Upper material feels restrictive

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.
