FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 features FLUIDRIDE cushioning and GEL inserts, providing good shock absorption suitable for moderate running distances. For marathon training, consider models specifically designed for extreme long-distance support.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not tight.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The mesh upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. The rubber outsole provides grip, but caution is advised on very wet surfaces.

What is the primary difference between the men's and women's GEL-KAYANO models?

Women's models are typically designed with a narrower heel and a slightly different overall shape to accommodate female foot anatomy, alongside specific colourways. The cushioning and support features are generally comparable.

How often should I replace my ASICS GEL-KAYANO trainers?

For optimal performance and injury prevention, it is generally recommended to replace running or training shoes every 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 kilometers), or when the cushioning feels significantly less responsive.

What does 'FLUIDRIDE cushioning' mean?

FLUIDRIDE is an ASICS midsole technology that combines lightweight, resilient foam compounds to provide exceptional cushioning and bounce-back characteristics, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency during your stride.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is selected and laces are tied appropriately. Wear with suitable athletic socks. A short break-in period may be necessary.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Over time, cushioning can degrade. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn and consider replacement if performance significantly diminishes.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Exercise caution in wet environments.

Mesh upper showing signs of wear

Avoid abrasive contact and cleaning with harsh chemicals. Gentle cleaning as per care instructions should preserve the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed as women's trainers, they are best suited for female users. They are compatible with various athletic activities and can be worn with athletic or casual attire.

Care: To maintain the condition of your ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Insoles: If removable, clean insoles separately. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
