FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 suitable for running marathons?
While the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 offers excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a trainer for everyday use. For dedicated marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models with features tailored for long-distance performance and impact.
How do I clean the synthetic 'Carbon' overlays?
Wipe the synthetic overlays gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this could damage the finish and the 'Carbon'-inspired design.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The mesh upper can absorb moisture. While the rubber outsole offers some grip, these trainers are not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for athletic footwear and allow them to dry thoroughly afterward.
What is the main difference between FLUIDRIDE and GEL cushioning?
FLUIDRIDE is an ASICS midsole technology that combines lightweight materials for enhanced cushioning and bounce-back. GEL technology refers to specific GEL inserts placed in the midsole to provide targeted shock absorption and reduce impact.
How should I care for the textile upper?
Spot clean the textile portions with a mild detergent and water using a soft cloth or brush. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid soaking the material.
What is the warranty period for ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 trainers?
ASICS typically offers a standard warranty for their footwear against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided with your purchase or on the official ASICS website for exact details.
Are these trainers unisex?
While the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 is listed with specific gender attributes, ASICS often designs its trainers with unisex appeal in mind. Check product details for specific sizing and fit information relevant to your needs.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning feel
Ensure the shoe's interior is free of debris. The cushioning is designed to adapt over time; if the feel has significantly degraded, the midsole may be worn out.
Slipping or lack of grip
Clean the rubber outsoles with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or residue that might be affecting traction.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the issue persists, consider using thicker socks or adjusting the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. The synthetic overlays may require a short break-in period.
Mesh upper feels too loose
Tighten the laces, paying attention to how they are threaded through the eyelets. If the shoe still feels loose, it may be the wrong size or width for your foot.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity. Use a shoe tree or stuff with paper if storing for extended periods.
