FAQs
Are ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI Trainers suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the integrated Gel technology provides exceptional cushioning, which is highly beneficial for absorbing impact and maintaining comfort during longer runs.
What type of surfaces are these trainers best suited for?
With a durable rubber outsole designed for 'perfect grip,' these trainers are well-suited for various hard surfaces like roads, pavements, and indoor tracks. Info needed: Specific recommendations for trails or very uneven terrain are not provided.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI Trainers?
For cleaning, gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can be used for the outsole. Always air dry away from direct heat to prevent damage to materials.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS generally provides consistent sizing. However, shoe fit can be subjective. It's recommended to consult ASICS' official size guide and consider your usual running shoe size. Always ensure there's enough room in the toe box.
What is ASICS Gel technology?
ASICS Gel technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact, protecting your feet and joints and enhancing overall comfort during your run.
Can I use these trainers for cross-training or gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, the strong cushioning and grip of the Gel-Quantum KEI Trainers can also make them suitable for certain gym activities or cross-training that involve impact and require stable footing.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, mileage, and individual running style. As a general guideline, running shoes should typically be replaced every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.
Troubleshooting
Foot Discomfort or Blisters
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to prevent hot spots or too much movement. Check if the size is correct; shoes that are too small or too large can cause issues. Allow for a proper break-in period if new.
Reduced Grip or Slipping
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or foreign objects lodged in the tread. Ensure the running surface is suitable for the shoe's design. If the outsole is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.
Shoe Odor
Remove insoles after each use and allow the shoes to air dry completely. Use a shoe deodorizer or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Ensure shoes are not stored in damp, unventilated areas.
Upper Material Wear or Tears
While durable, mesh uppers can wear over time. Avoid activities that involve excessive scuffing or dragging of the shoes against rough surfaces. Ensure the fit is not too tight, as this can put undue stress on the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure, comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage. Do not overtighten.
- Break-in Period: While often comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period (a few shorter runs) for the shoes to fully adapt to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adult runners of all genders (Unisex). They are compatible with various running activities, from daily training to moderate distance runs. Their robust cushioning makes them suitable for runners seeking impact protection. They are best suited for general running purposes and athletic activities that benefit from strong cushioning and grip.
Care
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For the outsole, a soft brush can help remove stubborn debris. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing).
