FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers offer excellent cushioning for general running and training. For marathon distances, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning tailored for endurance might be a better fit.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The primary benefit of the GEL technology is superior shock absorption. It is strategically placed in the midsole to minimize impact on your feet and joints during high-impact activities like running and jumping.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the Asics sizing guide available online or consult with a shoe specialist. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately. The UK size 9.5 corresponds to a specific foot measurement as per the Asics standard.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The trainers offer a rubber sole for traction, but they are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is crafted from 100% polyurethane, designed to be breathable and provide a comfortable, supportive fit.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after activities that cause them to get dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to maintain their appearance and material integrity.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the specific warranty details provided by the seller at the time of purchase for accurate information.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and ensure they are tied evenly. If the issue persists, consider if you need a larger size or if the break-in period is still ongoing.

Reduced cushioning after prolonged use

While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can gradually decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have been heavily used for over 300-500 miles or if you notice a significant reduction in comfort.

Soles showing signs of wear

The rubber sole is designed for durability, but excessive wear on specific areas may indicate an uneven gait. For moderate wear, continue using them for less demanding activities. For severe wear, replacement is recommended.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
