FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the combination of GEL technology and EVA cushioning makes them highly suitable for long-distance training.
How do I know if the UK 12 is the right fit?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can these be used for cross-training?
While designed primarily for running, the stable rubber outsole provides enough support for most standard gym-based movements.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity of your training and the surface conditions.
Is the mesh material durable?
The mesh is designed for high breathability; while durable, it should be protected from sharp objects or rough abrasions to prevent tearing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long runs
Feet often swell during exercise; try loosening the laces or ensuring your socks are not too thick.
Reduced traction on slick surfaces
Check the outsole for trapped debris or mud that might be obstructing the rubber tread patterns.
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently lift surface stains without pushing them into the mesh fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your ASICS Gel-Kayano trainers, ensure you choose the correct UK size for your foot shape. During initial use, wear them for shorter sessions to allow the EVA foam to contour to your foot. For maintenance, clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing as it can compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning units. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the upper mesh.
