Full details
The ASICS EX89 Sneaker in White (UK 11) is designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort. Its key benefit lies in the lightweight shock absorption provided by the layered leather construction, ensuring all-day wearability. A potential caveat is that the sizing may run specific to ASICS' fit, so trying them on or consulting a size guide is recommended. Inspired by the 1989 GEL-EXTREME model, these sneakers offer a distinctive look with overlapping leather panels and a clean white and glacier grey aesthetic.

No, the ASICS EX89 sneakers are designed as lifestyle shoes for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact running or athletic training.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
It's recommended to consult the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or compare with other ASICS footwear you own, as sizing can sometimes vary between brands and models.

Are these sneakers waterproof?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a leather protectant spray for added water repellency.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the sole.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions or place a small powder insert inside to absorb moisture.
Leather creasing excessively.
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
Discomfort after initial wear.
Allow the shoes a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.
Stains on the white leather.
Address stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
