FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Asics Ub 13-S Gel-SD Lyte trainers are designed for everyday wear and light urban running, not for intense or long-distance marathon training. For marathons, specialized running shoes with advanced performance features would be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts for men's footwear. The product details list the UK size for this specific pair (UK 8), and other sizes are available through variant siblings.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of textile and synthetic materials, including mesh for breathability.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to maintain their condition and prevent damage.

What is the Trusstic stabilizer for?

The Trusstic system is a plastic component located in the midfoot area of the sole. It provides structural integrity and torsional rigidity, helping to control pronation and enhance overall stability.

How does the 'simultanism' design concept influence the shoe?

The design draws inspiration from simultanism, using neutral color palettes offset by contrasting tones on the shoe's cage-like upper construction. This abstract application contrasts with the mesh material, embodying the idea of form and function.

Are these shoes a limited edition collaboration?

Yes, these trainers are presented in a limited edition collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are tied correctly and not too tight. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal stitching or debris causing friction.

Reduced cushioning feel

The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity, but its effectiveness can be subjectively perceived. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. For initial break-in, wear them for short durations.

Color transfer on socks

This can occasionally happen with new, brightly colored footwear. Consider wearing darker socks initially or ensure the shoes are fully dry before wear. The color transfer should minimize with use.
