FAQs
What is the main purpose of the ASICS GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC?
These trainers are primarily designed for urban exploration, daily commutes, and providing comfort during long periods of standing. They blend advanced aesthetics with functional features for everyday city life.
How does Scutoid GEL technology benefit me?
Scutoid GEL technology utilizes a unique 3D geometry with an off-axis structure to significantly improve shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints for enhanced comfort throughout the day.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While drawing aesthetic inspiration from ASICS running series, the GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC is engineered for urban utility and comfort rather than high-performance running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe lines.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper features a combination of a mesh foundation and synthetic tooling, providing both breathability for comfort and durable support.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The lace-up fastening allows for a customizable fit. Ensure you lace the shoes evenly, securing them snugly without being overly tight, to achieve optimal comfort and support.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions, which typically involves hand-wiping.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lace-up fastening. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from the toes to the ankle for a secure yet comfortable fit. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct shoe size.
Foot discomfort during long wear
While designed for comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure your lacing isn't too restrictive. Consider trying different socks or exploring custom insoles if you require additional arch support or cushioning for specific needs.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, debris, or small stones that might compromise traction. Ensure the soles are dry before use, especially on smooth surfaces.

A small amount of mild soap can be used for stubborn marks, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. * Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole for better traction and appearance. * Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials. * Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct light when not in use.
