Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The GEL-QUANTUM KEI trainers are designed primarily for lightweight comfort and casual everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized for high-impact running activities.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided UK or EU sizing.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS GEL-QUANTUM KEI trainers, as this can damage the cushioning, materials, and adhesives. Hand wash gently as per the care instructions.

What is the main difference between GEL-QUANTUM KEI and other ASICS models?

The GEL-QUANTUM KEI specifically emphasizes extreme lightness ('kei') and a harmonious feel, using a blend of FLYTEFOAM and GEL for everyday comfort, distinguishing it from sport-specific or performance-oriented ASICS lines.

How durable are the stitched reinforcements?

The stitched reinforcements at the toe and heel are designed to enhance the shoe's lifespan by protecting high-wear areas. They contribute to overall durability for regular use.

What kind of socks are best with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and breathability, consider wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks or comfortable cotton blend socks. Avoid very thick socks, which might make the fit too snug.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly snug, wearing them for short periods can help break them in. Consider using thinner socks.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it persists. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

Cushioning materials naturally degrade with extensive use. While designed for longevity, consider replacing them if significant comfort loss is noticed after prolonged wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult unisex wear, ideal for casual daily use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. Stubborn marks can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
