FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 features performance-inspired technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual use rather than specialized athletic training.
How do I determine my size?
This model follows standard adult sizing. If you typically wear a specific size in other ASICS lifestyle trainers, we recommend starting with that same size.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 is designed as a unisex model, though specific colorways may be marketed with specific sizing conventions.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if necessary.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from porous mesh with synthetic armor-like overlays for durability and style.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the synthetic materials from fading or becoming brittle over time.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure from the synthetic overlays
Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly across the midfoot, and give the shoe a few days of wear to allow the materials to soften.
Excessive dirt accumulation in the mesh
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft brush to gently lift dirt out of the pores without damaging the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter periods during the first few days to allow the synthetic armor overlays to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh. For deeper stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity of the overlays.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. If you prefer to use aftermarket orthotics, the factory insole is removable.
