FAQs
What type of activity are these shoes best for?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei are primarily designed for running and general athletic training, offering comfort and support for various distances and intensities.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei shoes?
Gently wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes suitable for all foot types?
These shoes are designed to provide a comfortable fit for a wide range of runners. However, individual foot anatomy and preference for arch support can vary. It's recommended to try them on for the best personal assessment.
What is the key benefit of ASICS Gel Technology?
ASICS Gel Technology provides advanced shock absorption, distributing impact forces across a larger surface area to reduce strain on your joints and enhance overall running comfort.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?
Yes, while optimized for running, their grip and cushioning make them suitable for a variety of gym workouts and cross-training activities, though they are not specifically designed for lateral movements required in some sports.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during runs
Ensure correct sizing and lacing. Allow for a short break-in period. Consider alternative lacing patterns or orthotic inserts if issues persist.
Shoes feel too warm or sweaty
Verify you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice plays a significant role.
Slipping on certain surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good grip, exercise caution on extremely slick, oily, or icy surfaces. No shoe can guarantee absolute traction in all conditions.
Unusual squeaking noise
Sometimes new shoes can squeak. This often resolves after a few wears. If it persists, check for any trapped debris between the sole and upper, or ensure laces aren't too tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
- Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight. A proper lacing technique can optimize fit and support.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable from the start, allow a few runs for the shoes to fully conform to your feet. This is normal for high-performance footwear.
- Sock Choice: Wear appropriate running socks (moisture-wicking is recommended) to maximize the shoe's breathability and prevent friction.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for `adult` runners of `unisex` gender, suitable for a range of running activities and general athletic use. Available in various UK sizes, ensure you select your correct size for optimal performance.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush).
- Wipe the mesh upper and sole with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators) as these can warp materials.
- Storage: Store your ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their integrity and extend their lifespan.
