FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are optimized for court sports and lateral movement, so they are not recommended for long-distance road running.
How do I determine my size?
The Gel-Game 8 follows standard UK adult sizing; if you typically wear a size 7 in other ASICS trainers, this model will provide a consistent fit.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree but not waterproof. Avoid submersing them in water.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
How often should I replace these shoes?
For active players, replace your trainers every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if the outsole traction begins to smooth out.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during first wear
Leather will soften with wear. Try wearing them for short periods around the house to break them in before high-intensity activity.
Exterior scuffs appearing on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out superficial marks.
Inner heel irritation
Ensure you are using socks of appropriate thickness to create a better fit and prevent friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Gel-Game 8 trainers, it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking athletic socks to manage perspiration. Given the leather construction, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the structural integrity, store them in a cool, dry place and ensure they are untied before removal.
