FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The GEL-QUANTUM KEI trainers are primarily designed for lightweight comfort and everyday casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact or performance running.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discoloration on the upper

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals. If the discoloration is from rubbing against dark clothing, it may be difficult to remove completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The ASICS GEL-QUANTUM KEI trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your GEL-QUANTUM KEI shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap diluted in water, applied with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. A soft brush can be used for more embedded dirt.
