FAQs
What kind of activities are these trainers best suited for?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei trainers are best suited for running, gym workouts, and general athletic activities where optimal cushioning, shock absorption, and reliable grip are beneficial.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei trainers?
Clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Air dry them naturally. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat sources, as this can damage the shoe materials.
What is 'Gel-Quantum Technology'?
Gel-Quantum Technology refers to ASICS' specialized cushioning system integrated into the sole, designed to provide superior shock absorption and responsive cushioning for comfort and impact protection.
Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?
Yes, at least 20% of the faux leather used in the upper part of the shoe is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Can I wear these trainers for casual, everyday use?
While their modern design allows for casual wear, these trainers are primarily optimized for athletic performance. For extended everyday casual use, some individuals might prefer shoes designed specifically for lifestyle comfort.
What does FLYTEFOAM cushioning do?
FLYTEFOAM cushioning is a lightweight and durable foam technology that provides exceptional bounce-back and responsiveness, ensuring a comfortable and supportive fit during your activities.
How can I ensure the best fit?
We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Your feet should feel secure without being cramped, and there should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Wear the type of socks you typically use for workouts when trying them on.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel hot or sweaty during workouts.
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks. While the mesh upper provides good airflow, improper socks can hinder ventilation. Also, ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, which can restrict air circulation.
Shoes feel less comfortable or supportive over time.
The lifespan of athletic shoe cushioning can vary. Consider if the shoes have reached their typical usage limit (e.g., 300-500 miles for running shoes). Regularly clean them to prevent material degradation and check for any visible wear or compression in the sole.
Slipping on certain surfaces despite the rubber outsole.
Inspect the outsole tread for excessive wear or embedded debris (e.g., small stones, mud) that might reduce grip. Clean the tread thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn, the shoes may need replacing for optimal safety and performance.

Using your ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei trainers is straightforward. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable, snug fit that allows for natural foot movement without excessive sliding or pressure points. Lace them securely but not overly tight to optimize support and comfort.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adults and are unisex in appeal (specific gender sizing may vary per variant). They are compatible with a wide range of athletic activities and surfaces, from paved roads to gym floors, thanks to their robust outsole and cushioning. Pair them with appropriate athletic socks for optimal comfort and moisture management.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei trainers:
- Cleaning: For surface dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the mesh and faux leather areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as this can trap moisture.
- Insoles: Remove and air out insoles periodically to prevent odor buildup. Hand washing insoles with mild soap is also an option.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can be too harsh and may damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and bonding.
