FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Gel-Kayano 12.1 is designed for stability and daily activity; while they offer great cushioning, they are best suited for walking and light fitness rather than long-distance marathons.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they follow standard UK sizing, but if you have wider feet, you may consider whether the standard width provides enough room for your personal preference.

How do I clean the black fabric?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach to prevent discolouration of the black material.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, which is helpful if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these are standard athletic trainers and are not designed to be waterproof.

What does 'unisex' mean regarding the fit?

Unisex sizing is based on standard adult foot proportions, making them versatile for anyone who finds their UK size comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of discomfort or pressure points during initial wear

Ensure the laces are not over-tightened and try wearing the shoes for shorter periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Accumulation of dust or debris in the tread

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove trapped dirt from the outsole to maintain consistent traction.

Internal lining feeling damp after use

Remove the insoles after a heavy-use day and allow both the insole and shoe to air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior shock absorption provided by Gel-Kayano technology
  • Versatile all-black design suitable for multiple settings
  • Excellent structural stability for daily wear
  • Available in a comprehensive range of adult sizes

Cons

  • Limited colour options for those preferring bright patterns
  • Focus is on stability rather than lightweight racing performance
  • Requires proper sizing check as fit may vary slightly by foot width

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. When first using the shoes, ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as a secure fit is crucial for the stability features to function optimally. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive. If the shoes become dirty, gently brush off loose debris and wipe with a damp, soft cloth using mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can compromise the cushioning and structural integrity. Allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated space.
