FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. While they offer cushioning, they are not engineered for high-impact running and specialized running shoes are recommended for that purpose.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on the product page or retailer's website. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the provided chart. For this specific model, the UK 8 is listed.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology of the shoes.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The specific materials can vary, but this model typically features a combination of synthetic materials, mesh, and potentially suede or nubuck for aesthetic appeal and durability.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage frequency, intensity, and weight of the wearer. For lifestyle use, the GEL cushioning should provide comfort for a significant period, but regular inspection for wear is advised.
Are there other color options available for the Gel-Quantum Kinetic?
Yes, the Gel-Quantum Kinetic series often comes in various colorways. You may find other options by searching for 'ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic' and checking different retailer listings.
What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific return policy of the store where you purchased the trainers. Most retailers allow returns or exchanges for unworn items within a certain timeframe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size is needed or if the shoes require a break-in period.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try wearing thicker socks or check if any part of the sole is loose.
Discoloration of the 'Oatmeal Dark Taupe' color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate methods for the material (e.g., suede cleaner for suede parts) and use a protectant spray if desired.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure to purchase replacement laces from a reputable retailer.
