ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 - Trainers - Green/Grey - UK 6

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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