FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GEL-DS Trainer is designed for versatile use, including light training and daily activity; however, for professional-level long-distance running, you may want to consult ASICS' dedicated high-mileage racing series.
How do I know which size to pick?
Check the specific product variant as sizing is listed in UK adult or children's standards. Refer to the ASICS sizing chart to ensure the best fit for your specific foot measurements.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand clean them to preserve the structural integrity and the performance of the GEL cushioning.
What is the difference between the standard and the SP version?
While both share the core performance DNA, the SP variants often feature slight aesthetic or material updates intended for specific performance or lifestyle segments.
Are these waterproof?
These trainers are not marketed as waterproof. They are breathable, which is great for comfort but means they may absorb water in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long wear
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider using an aftermarket moisture-wicking sock to reduce friction.
Exterior getting scuffed or dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud, followed by a damp cloth with a tiny amount of diluted detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-DS Trainers last, keep them away from extreme heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally by stuffing them with paper towels to absorb internal moisture. For cleaning, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can break down the adhesives. When sizing, consider the specific model, as the 'SP' and 'Ld64' variants may offer different interior volumes compared to the standard model.
