Full details

The ASICS Gel-170 TR trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile shoe that bridges the gap between performance training and casual everyday wear. These trainers offer the key benefit of enhanced durability and supportive comfort thanks to their premium leather construction, though users should note that the leather material requires specific care to maintain its appearance compared to synthetic mesh alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Gel-170 TR provides support and cushioning, it is designed primarily for gym training and casual wear rather than long-distance running.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather material and the structure of the shoe. Always clean them by hand.

Are these leather shoes waterproof?

The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or submerging in water.

How should I choose the right size?

ASICS generally follows standard sizing. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, consider trying the half-size up for a comfortable fit.

Is the sole non-marking?

The outsole is designed for various indoor and outdoor surfaces, providing good grip and traction for typical training environments.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Leather naturally stretches with wear; try wearing them for short intervals to break the material in.

Visible scuffs on the leather

Use a leather-safe conditioner or a damp cloth to buff out surface marks gently.

Accumulation of moisture inside

Remove the insoles after heavy use and allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Gel-170 TR trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Leather shoes may feel slightly stiff initially; wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or fade.
  4. Compatibility: These are standard athletic trainers compatible with most athletic socks. If you use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-issued insole before inserting your own.
