FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the EX89 is designed as a casual, lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical cushioning and support required for running.
How do I maintain the white color?
Regularly wipe away dirt before it sets and use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and resistant to cracking.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?
Generally, yes. However, leather construction may feel slightly more structured than synthetic mesh running shoes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing leather shoes in a machine will damage the material and adhesives. Always clean by hand.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While leather provides some natural protection against light moisture, they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases from walking
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees after wear can help minimize deep set lines.
Surface dirt on the white leather
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaning cream applied with a soft microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS EX89 trainers stay in optimal condition, proper care is essential:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather surface after use. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution, avoiding harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can crack or deform the leather.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the trainer over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult UK sizing. Ensure you check the specific size conversion if transitioning from other athletic brands.
