FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel technology offers good cushioning, these are classified as lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
The ASICS Gel Lyte 3 generally runs true to size. Refer to the UK size chart to ensure a proper fit for your foot length.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the Gel cushioning unit. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the split-tongue for?
It is a signature design element that secures the tongue in place, preventing it from sliding to the side during movement.
Are these made of real leather?
Yes, the construction utilizes high-quality leather materials for durability and a premium aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape after a few days of wear. Ensure you are wearing appropriate thickness socks.
Visible creasing on the leather
Leather creasing is a natural characteristic of the material. Use shoe trees to help minimize deep set-in wrinkles when the shoes are stored.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel Lyte 3 trainers maintain their appearance and structure:
- Breaking In: New leather trainers may feel stiff; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to soften.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For leather care, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner; avoid soaking the shoe.
- Drying: Never place trainers near heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather and degrade the Gel unit. Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to maintain the shape when not in use.
