FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers inspired by athletic gear. While they offer support, they are best suited for walking and daily activities rather than long-distance running.

Is the material real leather?

Yes, this model features a leather upper for durability and premium aesthetics.

How does the sizing run?

The GEL-DS Trainer SP generally follows standard ASICS sizing; however, since they feature a unique 3-point fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal liners can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics for personalized arch support.

What is the primary benefit of the TRUSSTIC unit?

The TRUSSTIC unit provides midfoot stability, preventing unnecessary torsion during movement.

Troubleshooting

Creasing of the leather upper

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure of the toe box and reduce deep creasing.

Difficulty maintaining cleanliness

Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray regularly to create a protective barrier against dirt and moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact protection thanks to rearfoot GEL
  • Stable stride supported by the TRUSSTIC unit
  • Lightweight build prevents heavy-feeling feet
  • Sophisticated multi-layered leather design
  • Comfortable fit suitable for all-day wear

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity sports training
  • Leather material requires specific cleaning care
  • Style may not suit all athletic performance needs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS GEL-DS Trainer SP lasts, proper care for the leather upper is essential. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive bond. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution formulated for leather, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To maintain the 3-point fit, ensure the laces are tied securely but not overtightened, which could restrict blood flow or cause unnecessary tension on the upper material.
