FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gel-170 is designed primarily for daily wear and general activities rather than high-performance distance running.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, washing leather footwear in a machine can damage the material. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable leather.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
Yes, they feature ASICS signature support technology to promote comfort throughout the day.
Are they water-resistant?
While leather provides some natural resistance, these are not waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dull
Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish to restore shine and hydration.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the leather's shape.
Dirt stuck in outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the grooves of the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-170 trainers remain in optimal condition, perform the following care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and dust.
- Conditioning: Use a leather-appropriate conditioner every few months to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material longevity.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally; avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this may warp the leather.
