FAQs

What activities are these trainers suitable for?

The ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 is ideal for casual wear, urban exploration, and light recreational activities due to its comfort features and durable grip. It's not designed for intensive running or performance sports.

How does the GEL technology benefit me?

The rearfoot GEL technology is strategically placed to absorb significant impact during heel strike, providing excellent cushioning and helping to reduce stress on your feet and joints throughout the day.

What does the TRUSSTIC system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. It enhances stability, helps control torsion, and contributes to the shoe's overall structural integrity without adding unnecessary weight.

How should I clean the unique `Orange` and `Desert Camp` upper?

For the Textile and Synthetic Upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Use a soft brush for any intricate areas. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Is this shoe true to size?

ASICS shoes generally run true to size, but we recommend checking the size chart. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. This specific variant is UK 14.

What is the design inspiration behind these trainers?

The design is curated by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS SportStyle, taking inspiration from decoupage and reflecting reclaimed objects in natural environments, with colors harking to fossils.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Check lacing to ensure it's not overly tight. Wear with appropriate socks for optimal fit and comfort.

Poor grip on certain surfaces

While the rubber outsoles offer good grip, extreme wet or slippery conditions may still pose a risk. Clean outsoles regularly to prevent dirt buildup that can reduce traction.

Unique mesh underlays appear dirty or stained

Gently clean the asymmetric mesh with a soft brush or cloth moistened with mild soap and water. Avoid vigorous scrubbing to prevent damage to the delicate material.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.

Care & Maintenance: To maintain the unique aesthetic and performance of your trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the Textile and Synthetic Upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the materials. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
  • Odour Control: If needed, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.
