FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The ASICS Split Elite trainers are designed more for general training, cross-training, and gym activities rather than specialized long-distance running. They offer support and durability for shorter efforts and varied movements.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug but not constricting.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What does the 'Split Elite' series signify?

The 'Split Elite' series by ASICS is generally known for its focus on performance, quality construction, and durability, catering to athletes who require reliable footwear for their training regimes.

How often should I replace my trainers?

For optimal performance and to prevent injuries, it's generally recommended to replace trainers every 300-500 miles of running or when you notice significant wear on the cushioning or outsole, or discomfort during use.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with breathable materials suitable for athletic performance, which means they will not offer protection against heavy rain or submersion in water.

Troubleshooting

Initial discomfort or tightness

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thicker socks if needed for a snugger fit.

Traction issues on certain surfaces

Ensure the outsoles are clean from debris. The traction is optimized for typical gym and training surfaces. For extremely slippery conditions, consider specialized footwear.

Materials showing wear quickly

Avoid using the trainers for activities outside their intended purpose (e.g., intense trail running or rough terrain). Follow care instructions diligently to prolong their lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size before use.

Compatibility: Designed as athletic footwear for men, these trainers are compatible with general athletic activities. They are not specialized for a particular sport but offer versatility across training types.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your ASICS Split Elite trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid damp environments.
  4. Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or replace them if worn.
