FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

The ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers draw from handball heritage but are primarily updated for modern comfort and casual wear. While they offer good support for daily activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance sports beyond their original athletic context.

How should I clean the suede and synthetic leather materials?

For synthetic leather, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What does 'EVA cushioning' mean for comfort?

EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight, flexible, and soft foam material. In the wedge heel, it provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort for extended periods of standing or walking.

Do these trainers run true to size, or should I size up/down?

ASICS trainers typically run true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes or prefer a bit more room, you might consider trying the next half size up.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather conditions?

The trainers feature synthetic leather and suede, which are not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended. A protective spray can offer some water resistance for suede.

What is the benefit of the reinforced heel?

The reinforced heel enhances the trainer's structural integrity and durability, contributing to a superior feeling of quality and providing better stability for the foot, especially given its heritage in sports.

Troubleshooting

Trainer appearance becomes dull or dirty quickly.

Regular cleaning is key. For synthetic leather, wipe with a damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush to remove surface dirt and a specific suede cleaner for tougher marks. Consider using a protective spray.

Trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK shoe size. Foot size can change, so re-measure if uncertain. Try different sock thicknesses (thin or thick) to adjust the fit. Allow for a short break-in period if new.

Slipping on certain surfaces.

The rubber outsole is designed for general traction on typical urban surfaces. Avoid extremely slippery, oily, or icy conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of accumulated dirt or debris that could reduce grip.

Suede material appears flattened or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps to restore its texture and appearance. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh brushes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers is straightforward, and proper care will ensure their longevity and appearance.

Setup

  1. Unbox: Carefully remove your new trainers from their packaging.
  2. Inspect: Check for any manufacturing imperfections or shipping damage.
  3. Wear: Lace them up comfortably and enjoy!

No complex setup is required. These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box.

Compatibility

  • Adult Sizing: These trainers are designed for adults. Ensure you select the appropriate UK shoe size for a comfortable and accurate fit. Foot sizes can vary, so refer to a sizing guide if unsure.
  • Casual Wear: The Skyhand Og Trainers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and activewear.
  • Surface Compatibility: The rubber outsole provides good traction on typical urban surfaces (e.g., pavement, concrete, indoor flooring). They are not specifically designed for demanding off-road or specialized sports surfaces.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of your trainers.

  1. General Cleaning:
  • For synthetic leather panels, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • For suede panels, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
  1. Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators) or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  2. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  3. Stain Prevention: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and synthetic materials to help repel water and prevent stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge your trainers in water, as this can damage the materials, glues, and cushioning.
