FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS EX89 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and offer comfortable cushioning for daily activities. They are not intended for high-impact running or athletic performance.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or consult the size guide provided by the retailer. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the main difference between the EX89 and other ASICS trainers?
The EX89 specifically blends heritage basketball design from 1989 with modern FF BLAST cushioning, offering a unique retro-meets-contemporary style unlike performance-focused models.
How does the FF BLAST cushioning perform?
FF BLAST cushioning provides a soft and responsive feel in the heel, enhancing comfort for walking and standing for extended periods.
Is the leather treated to be water-resistant?
The leather is primarily for style and durability. While it offers some natural protection, it is not specifically treated for water resistance. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable
The leather may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Scuffs or marks on the leather
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consider using a leather-specific cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.
