FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the GEL technology offers excellent cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for everyday wear and casual athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes with targeted support and features are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively, and the width should feel snug but not tight.
Can I wear these with athletic socks?
Yes, athletic socks are recommended for enhanced comfort, moisture-wicking, and to prevent chafing.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The primary benefit of ASICS' GEL technology is superior shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on your feet and joints during movement, providing a softer and more comfortable stride.
How do I clean the suede-like material if it gets dirty?
For suede-like areas, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid using water excessively, and allow to air dry completely. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used cautiously.
What other colors are available for the Gel-Quantum Kinetic series?
The Gel-Quantum Kinetic series is available in various colorways across different models and seasons. Please refer to the ASICS official website or retailer for current availability.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and offer some resistance to light moisture but are not intended for use in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Slightly stiff upon first wear
This is normal for new performance footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Discoloration on the 'Oatmeal Dark Taupe' color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to scrub aggressively.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Try double-knotting the laces. If the lace material is slippery, consider replacing them with a textured alternative.
