FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather material provides some resistance to moisture, they are not fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain.
Can I use these for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual, daily wear and walking. They lack the specific technical features required for dedicated long-distance running.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you typically wear in other casual athletic footwear.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
What is the best way to clean the white soles?
A magic eraser sponge or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with an old toothbrush works well to lift dirt from the rubber outsoles.
Troubleshooting
The leather upper looks dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine to the material.
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser through the midfoot section, or ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic-weight socks.
Creasing appearing on the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; however, using a cedar shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-170 Trainers maintain their condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel firm initially; wear them for short periods during the first week to allow the material to contour to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For tougher stains, use a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or inside a hot car, as extreme temperatures can degrade the leather and the cushioning foam.
- Moisture Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light rain and spills.
