FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Gel-170 TR is designed for light training and casual use. They lack the specific motion-control or high-rebound features required for long-distance running.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will damage the leather upper and degrade the Gel cushioning system. Clean them manually with a damp cloth.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

While leather provides more natural resistance than fabric, these are not advertised as waterproof. Treat them with a leather protectant spray for water repellency.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from durable leather, which provides long-term support and a refined aesthetic.

Are these shoes unisex?

The series is available in various sizes that accommodate both men and women, ensuring a broad range of fits for different users.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows signs of scuffing

Use a color-matching leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Foot feels too tight or restricted

Check the lacing tension; loosen the laces near the toe box to provide more volume, or consider using thinner socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption via Gel technology
  • Durable, high-quality leather upper
  • Versatile design suitable for casual and gym use

  • Not intended for high-intensity long-distance running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Gel-170 TR trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: While the leather provides great support, it may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the material to conform to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather finish and affect the glue bonds.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
  4. Maintenance: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and cracking, maintaining the integrity and shine of the material.
