FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense workouts?
While the ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 incorporates running-inspired technologies like GEL and TRUSSTIC, it is designed as a SportStyle shoe for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. It is not optimized for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
What does 'decoupage reflecting reclaimed objects' mean in the design?
This refers to the artistic inspiration behind the shoe's aesthetic. The design elements, patterns, and material combinations are intended to evoke the look of reclaimed objects or natural elements like fossils, creating a unique, layered, and curated visual appeal.
How does the GEL technology benefit me?
ASICS' GEL technology, strategically placed in the rearfoot, provides superior cushioning and shock absorption. This helps to reduce impact during walking and standing, contributing to overall comfort throughout your day.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology found in the midfoot area of the sole. It helps to enhance stability, prevent excessive twisting of the foot, and reduce the overall weight of the shoe without compromising structural integrity.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?
Generally, ASICS sizing tends to be consistent across their SportStyle range. However, slight variations can occur. We recommend checking a size chart or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 features a textile and synthetic upper. While it offers some protection, it is not explicitly waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions, it's advisable to choose footwear specifically designed for those environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot. Adjust lacing for a more comfortable fit. Consider wearing socks appropriate for your foot width.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause is moisture between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning and drying both surfaces thoroughly, and then reinserting. If the sound persists, it could be a manufacturing variance that typically subsides with wear.
Reduced grip or slipping on certain surfaces.
Regularly check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the treads with a brush to ensure maximum surface contact. While designed for optimum grip, extreme conditions like ice or heavily polished wet floors can still reduce traction.
Noticeable odor inside the shoe.
Allow the shoes to air out completely after each use. You can insert shoe trees or crumpled newspaper to absorb moisture. For persistent odors, use an anti-odor spray or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and synthetic upper, gently wipe dirt and scuffs with a soft, damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: The synthetic sole and rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime, ensuring optimum grip is maintained.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water.
