FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers are designed for general comfort and light training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with more advanced support and cushioning tailored for long distances are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Check the width – your foot should feel snug but not constricted. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, is often helpful.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The primary benefit of ASICS' GEL technology is its excellent shock-absorbing capability. It helps to reduce impact forces on the foot and joints, providing a more comfortable experience during various activities.
How often should I replace my Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers?
This depends on usage. For general daily wear, they may last a year or more. If used regularly for training or running, replacement might be needed every 300-500 miles or when you notice significant wear or loss of cushioning.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers are not waterproof. They are constructed with breathable materials for ventilation, which means they will allow water to penetrate. They are suitable for dry conditions or light moisture, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow.
Try wearing thinner socks or allow for a break-in period. If the issue persists, consider if a wider fit might be more suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
The cushioning may naturally decrease over time with regular use. Consider replacing the insoles or evaluating if it's time for a new pair, especially if used frequently for high-impact activities.
Squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between different shoe components. Try checking for small debris trapped in the sole or insole. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction.
Discoloration of materials.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean only with recommended methods (damp cloth, mild soap sparingly) to prevent material damage and fading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use and are compatible with a wide range of athletic and casual attire. They are best suited for activities involving walking, light running, and general daily wear. They are not recommended for intense or specialized sports requiring advanced support (e.g., marathon running, court sports).
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or in a dryer) as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, take them out and air them separately. They can often be hand-washed gently with mild soap and water, then allowed to dry completely.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
