FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic Trainers offer excellent shock absorption and support suitable for morning runs and gym sessions. For serious, high-mileage running or specialized competitive events, you might consider ASICS' dedicated running shoe lines that cater to specific biomechanical needs.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers are listed in UK sizing. It's generally recommended to measure your foot length and refer to ASICS' official sizing chart. If you're between sizes, consider trying the next half size up, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. ASICS recommends ensuring a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended for ASICS trainers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties. Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions, but manual cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is usually the safest method.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology inserts, combined with lightweight foams, are designed to absorb shock during impact and provide advanced cushioning. This helps to protect your joints, reduce fatigue, and enhance overall comfort during various activities.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The standard width for ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic Trainers is a regular fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you might find them snug. ASICS does offer some models in wide fittings, but this specific variant is not indicated as such. It's always best to try them on or check specific width availability if you have concerns.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper of the ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic Trainers is constructed from a combination of synthetic leather and strategically placed mesh panels. This blend provides both durable support and excellent breathability.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel less supportive over time.
The cushioning materials in trainers can compress with prolonged use. Consider the age and mileage of your trainers; they may need replacement. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks that offer additional support.
Feet feel too hot or sweaty during wear.
While the trainers feature mesh for breathability, intense activity or hot weather can still cause warmth. Ensure you're wearing moisture-wicking socks. If the problem persists, check for proper ventilation around the foot.
Sole shows excessive wear quickly.
Sole wear is normal, but excessive wear might indicate an issue with your gait or using the trainers on unsuitable rough surfaces regularly. Ensure you're using them for intended activities (urban, gym) and consider having your gait analyzed if you suspect a biomechanical issue.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or between the shoe and the surface. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak is from the sole, ensure it is clean and dry.

For care and maintenance, it is crucial to *refer to the product label* for specific instructions. Generally, to maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the synthetic leather and mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Odour Prevention: Consider using shoe deodorizers or allowing them to air out after each use to prevent unpleasant odours.
