FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei trainers are designed for general training and everyday comfort. For marathon running, specialized running shoes offering advanced support and specific cushioning profiles are recommended.
What does the 'Kei' in Gel-Quantum Kei signify?
The 'Kei' is inspired by the Japanese word for lightness. These trainers are designed to promote a feeling of lightness and harmony between mind and body.
How do I determine the right size?
It is recommended to try the shoes on for a proper fit, as sizing can vary. Refer to ASICS's official sizing chart for general guidance, but in-person fitting is best for optimal comfort.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and affect the cushioning technology. Hand clean with a damp cloth as per the care instructions.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ technology?
The primary benefit of GEL™ technology is superior shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on the feet and joints during activity.
Are these trainers unisex?
While specific models might be marketed towards a gender, the Gel-Quantum Kei design is generally versatile. Check the product description for specific gender targeting if available, but the core features are suitable for anyone prioritizing comfort and lightness.
How does FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning differ from GEL™?
GEL™ technology is specifically designed for shock absorption, while FLYTEFOAM™ is a lightweight foam compound that provides resilient cushioning and energy return.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Loosen the laces for more room or tighten them for a more snug fit. Ensure the knot is secure.
Slight squeaking sound during walking.
This can occasionally happen with new shoes. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the issue persists, try placing a powder (like talcum powder) inside the shoe, under the insole.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While the cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding recommended activity levels for trainers.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
The non-slip outsole provides good traction, but performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might affect grip.
