FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?

How do I determine my size?

Are these made from real leather?
The upper is constructed from synthetic leather, incorporating recycled materials to improve sustainability.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash your trainers in a machine, as this can damage the adhesives, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe.
Why is the dyeing process highlighted?
Asics uses a solution dyeing process for the insoles, which helps reduce water consumption by 33% and carbon emissions by 45% compared to traditional methods.
Troubleshooting
Material shows scuffs or dirt
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the area; avoid abrasive brushes on the leather surface.
Foot feels tight after a long day
Feet often swell during the day; ensure laces are adjusted properly and consider loosening them slightly to accommodate natural changes in foot volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers, proper care is essential, especially given the synthetic leather composition.
- Breaking In: The shoes are designed for comfort out of the box, but wearing them for short intervals initially will help the upper material contour to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic leather surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the sealed overlays.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or becoming brittle.
- Insole Maintenance: You can remove the insoles to air them out if necessary; avoid heat-drying, as this can warp the shape.
