FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While featuring GEL technology, the UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 is primarily designed for comfort and style in daily wear and light activities, rather than high-performance running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers other specialized models.

How do I clean the unique layered materials and moire surfaces?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a very mild soap solution. Gently wipe the surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the intricate design elements. Air dry completely.

What does TRUSSTIC support system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is a component placed in the midfoot area that helps to stabilize the shoe by preventing excessive torsion (twisting), providing improved support and gait efficiency.

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, these sneakers generally follow standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials offer some resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the materials and maintain their longevity. They are not designed for extreme wet conditions.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features a combination of mesh for breathability, synthetic overlays for structure and style, and leather as indicated in the product attributes. This blend offers durability, comfort, and the unique aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to be less restrictive, especially around the forefoot. If new, wear them for short periods to break them in, as materials may soften slightly.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can often help.

Unpleasant odor develops.

Remove the insoles regularly to air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear before storing them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the sneakers sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.

  3. Adjust Laces: Pull the laces taut from the bottom upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit across the midfoot.
  4. Tie Laces: Secure the laces with a double knot to prevent untying during activity.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 sneakers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub soiled areas. For the leather components, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: A stiff brush can remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Always air-dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or discoloration. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
