FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for court sports and gym training. They lack the specific motion-control features and cushioning needed for long-distance road running.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and material integrity. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior.
Do these come with removable insoles?
Yes, the Gel-Game 8 features removable sockliners, allowing for the use of custom orthotics.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed with durable, performance-focused synthetic materials and leather overlays for added support.
Are these true to size?
The ASICS Gel-Game 8 typically fits true to standard UK sizing, though we recommend trying them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness around the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, or ensure your socks are not too thick.
Slippage on dusty court surfaces
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup and restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Game 8 trainers perform at their best, ensure you have selected your correct UK size for a snug, secure fit. As these shoes utilize synthetic and leather materials, proper maintenance is vital for longevity:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
- Insoles: You may replace the factory insoles with custom orthotics if necessary, as the standard liners are removable.
