FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the GEL-SD Lyte design?

The original design was inspired by an egg, focusing on the concept of a protective shell for the foot, which is reflected in the midsole and upper mold.

What type of cushioning does the GEL-SD Lyte use?

It features a combination of the GEL cushioning system in the heel for shock absorption and FLYTEFOAM PROPEL cushioning in the midsole for a responsive and energized feel.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GEL-SD Lyte is designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. For marathon running, it is recommended to use specialized ASICS running shoes engineered for high-performance and specific running demands.

What materials are the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic leather overlays, providing ventilation and support.

How should I clean my GEL-SD Lyte trainers?

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the intended use for these trainers?

They are ideal for casual outings, daily wear, walking, and light activities, offering a blend of style and comfort.

Can I wear these with athletic socks?

Yes, athletic socks are recommended for comfort and to complement the trainer's sporty aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

The shoes may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to break them in, allowing the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Tread wears down quickly

Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (casual wear, light activity) and avoid excessive use on abrasive surfaces. Regular cleaning of the outsole can also help maintain grip.

Discomfort during prolonged activity

While designed for comfort, these trainers are best suited for casual use. For intense athletic activities, consider specialized ASICS sports shoes. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using performance insoles if needed.

Care Instructions:
