FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The GEL-DS Trainer SP is designed primarily for everyday wear and casual activity, not as a replacement for dedicated high-mileage performance running shoes.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can compromise the leather material and the structural stability of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

Yes, the integrated TRUSSTIC support unit provides significant midfoot stability and arch support.

How do I determine if this size fits me?

The shoe should feel snug but not restrictive. You should have roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the sneaker.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather construction provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing scuff marks

Gently buff the area with a dry cloth or use a mild leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of finish.

Feeling too tight across the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system starting from the eyelets closest to the toe to allow more room, taking advantage of the 3-point fit flexibility.

Inner lining feeling damp

Remove the insole after heavy use and allow the shoe to air-dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS GEL-DS Trainer SP remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These trainers are designed for a performance-focused fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider testing them with your preferred socks to ensure comfort.
  2. Break-in Period: While the trainers are comfortable out of the box, the leather upper will naturally soften and conform to your foot after a few days of consistent wear.
  3. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. Because of the leather construction, use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior; avoid machine washing, which can damage the structural integrity of the leather and the adhesives.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and to preserve the original colourway.
