FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good comfort and cushioning, they are not engineered for the demands of marathon running or high-intensity athletic training. For such activities, ASICS recommends specialized running shoes.

How do I determine my correct ASICS shoe size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or the retailer's product page. It's recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is the most accurate method.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand washing using a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the main difference between Gel-Kinetic and other ASICS series?

The Gel-Kinetic series often focuses on blending heritage aesthetics with modern comfort features for everyday wear. Other ASICS series might be specifically engineered for performance running, trail running, or specialized sports, with different technological focuses.

What does 'FF BLAST PLUS ECO' cushioning mean?

FF BLAST PLUS ECO is an advanced cushioning technology that provides a soft, lightweight, and energetic feel. The 'ECO' designation indicates that it is made with more sustainable materials, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.

How durable is the rubber sole?

The rubber sole is designed for durability to withstand everyday wear and tear, providing good traction. However, longevity will depend on usage frequency and conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The cushioning may naturally compress with regular use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect performance. For significant loss of cushioning, replacement may be necessary.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the insole and midsole, or friction within the shoe. Try removing and drying the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
