ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 - Desert/Piquant Orange - UK 7.5

These shoes are designed primarily as lifestyle and fashion sneakers, combining unique artistic design with comfort features for daily wear. While they have an athletic heritage, they are best suited for casual activities and making a style statement rather than high-performance sports.

For basic cleaning, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Always avoid harsh chemicals, direct heat, or submerging the shoes in water.

ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system that uses gel-like material strategically placed in the midsole, often in the rearfoot and/or forefoot. It's designed to absorb impact, reduce shock during footstrike, and provide a softer, more comfortable feel.

The TRUSSTIC support unit is a component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to enhance stability and reduce the overall weight of the sole unit while maintaining the shoe's structural integrity. This helps prevent excessive torsion and provides a more supportive ride.

Generally, ASICS shoes are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend checking the size guide and considering your usual ASICS sizing for best results. If possible, try them on to ensure optimal comfort.

The design of the UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 is a Curation Model from the Kiko Kostadinov Studio. It draws inspiration from reclaimed objects found in natural landscapes and the artistic technique of decoupage, leading to its distinctive layered look and unique color palette.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replacing the insole. If the issue persists, check if the tongue or other parts are rubbing.

The leather may need conditioning. Clean the shoes thoroughly with a soft cloth and mild leather cleaner, then apply a quality leather conditioner. This will help restore its luster and keep the material supple.

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes sometimes require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially. If the issue persists, consider trying different socks or consulting a footwear specialist for fit advice.

The leather upper provides less ventilation than mesh. Wear moisture-wicking socks to help manage heat and sweat. Allow shoes to fully air out between wears. If possible, alternate with other footwear.
