FAQs
What activities are these sneakers best suited for?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI Sneakers are highly versatile, ideal for everyday casual wear, walking, light running, and various general athletic activities like gym workouts, thanks to their balanced comfort and support.
How does the Gel-Quantum series technology benefit me?
This technology provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, strategically placed within the sole. It helps to reduce impact during movement, offering enhanced comfort and support, which can lead to less fatigue during extended wear or exercise.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash your ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions for manual cleaning.
How do I ensure the best fit?
These sneakers are provided in UK size 11. For the best fit, ensure your longest toe doesn't touch the front of the shoe and that your heel feels secure without excessive slipping. Trying them on with your usual athletic socks is always recommended.
Can I use these for intense long-distance running?
While providing excellent cushioning for general running, for highly intense or long-distance running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes that might provide more tailored support and features for those specific demands. These Gel-Quantum KEI sneakers are best for lighter running and versatile athletic activities.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles in the ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI sneakers are generally removable. This allows for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics or preferred aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your lacing technique; often loosening the laces across the midfoot can provide relief. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Verify you have the correct size, as fit can vary.
Squeaking sound from the sole.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's base. Remove the insole and allow both the insole and the inside of the shoe to air dry completely. A sprinkle of baby powder beneath the insole can also help.
Unpleasant odor develops in the shoes.
Ensure your sneakers are fully aired out after each use, especially if they become damp from sweat or rain. Removing the insoles to dry separately can help. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray.
Exterior material appears dirty or scuffed.
Regular cleaning with a soft brush or damp cloth (and mild soap if needed) can keep the exterior looking fresh. For scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner or eraser might be effective on certain materials.

Setup:
- Lacing: Unlace the sneakers to a comfortable width, then insert your foot. Adjust the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit across your instep.

- Footwear: Best paired with athletic socks to enhance comfort and prevent rubbing. This specific variant is designed for adult males and is UK size 11.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth after each use. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
