Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel Pulse 16 Trainers are designed for adult men seeking a reliable, neutral shoe for daily fitness activities, including running and gym workouts. These trainers prioritize user comfort through integrated Gel cushioning technology, which provides effective shock absorption and stability during movement. While the shoe offers excellent durability and a versatile aesthetic, it is specifically engineered for neutral runners, meaning those requiring significant arch correction or stability control may need to consider alternative specialized footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Gel Pulse 16 is designed for daily training and road running, making them suitable for many runners, though specialized marathon shoes are typically lighter.
Can I use these for cross-training?
Yes, their stable platform is suitable for general gym workouts, though they are primarily optimized for forward motion.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Do these come with removable insoles?
Yes, they feature a removable sockliner, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Are they true to size?
ASICS generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with mild soap to gently scrub the mesh, then allow them to air dry naturally.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after short runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot and verify that the arch support matches your foot type.
Excessive wear on the outsole
Check your running surface. If you predominantly run on rough concrete, consider rotating your shoes to allow the cushioning to decompress.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the laces down to the second eyelet before inserting your foot to prevent undue stress on the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel Pulse 16 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks or light activity to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using mild soap and a soft brush. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the adhesive and cushioning materials.
- Air Drying: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the lining.
