Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

How does the GEL™ technology benefit the wearer?
The GEL™ technology inserts within the midsole provide advanced cushioning and shock absorption, leading to a more comfortable feel during walking and standing.

The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper with supportive leather overlays and a durable rubber outsole.
How should I clean my ASICS GT-2160 trainers?
Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe the midsole and outsole clean. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Loosen the laces to allow for more room and adjust for a comfortable fit.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces to see if the noise persists. Ensure the insoles are seated correctly. If the noise continues, contact customer support.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Outsole shows signs of wear
The rubber outsole is designed for durability, but excessive wear indicates heavy use. For moderate wear, cleaning is usually sufficient. For significant wear affecting grip, consider replacement.
