FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some resistance to light rain, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Can I use these for running?
These trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and are not recommended for high-impact activities like long-distance running.
Do I need to break them in?
Like most leather footwear, they may feel slightly stiff initially but will soften and conform to your foot after a few wears.
How do I determine my size?
These are standard adult sizes. If you are between sizes, we recommend trying the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own orthotics or custom insoles.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and luster.
Creasing near the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Use a matching black leather polish or touch-up pen to conceal small marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-170 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines. First, avoid machine washing the shoes, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a soft brush. It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the black leather to fade or dry out. Ensure you rotate your footwear to allow the internal materials to air out after a full day of use.
