FAQs
What kind of activities are these trainers suitable for?
These ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers are best suited for lifestyle, casual wear, and light daily activities like walking or urban exploration. While they have athletic heritage, they are optimized for comfort and style rather than high-performance sports.
How do I clean the white synthetic leather and suede parts?
For synthetic leather, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for general cleaning. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and eraser for dirt and stains. Always air dry away from heat. Consider a water and stain repellent spray for protection.
Are these trainers true to size?
ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. It's recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If you're between sizes or have wider feet, you might consider trying a half size up for optimal comfort, though individual fit can vary.
What materials are the ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers made from?
These trainers feature an upper constructed from synthetic leather and suede panels, a durable rubber outsole, and a wedge heel with EVA cushioning, complemented by FLYTEFOAM PROPEL cushioning in the insole.
What is EVA cushioning and FLYTEFOAM PROPEL?
EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) cushioning is a soft, flexible material used in midsoles to absorb impact and provide comfort. FLYTEFOAM PROPEL is an advanced ASICS cushioning technology that offers exceptional bounce and energy return, enhancing the feeling of comfort and responsiveness.
Can I use these trainers for sports like handball?
While inspired by handball, the ASICS Skyhand Og is a heritage lifestyle trainer. For competitive handball or high-impact sports, we recommend using specialized athletic footwear designed for those specific activities to ensure adequate support, grip, and injury prevention.
Troubleshooting
White trainers appear dirty quickly
Regularly wipe down synthetic leather and rubber parts with a damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush. Treat stains promptly using a mild shoe cleaner or diluted white vinegar.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
These trainers may require a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not too tight.
Suede areas look matted or discolored
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper discoloration, a suede eraser might help. Consider applying a suede protector spray.
Trainers make a squeaking sound when walking
The squeaking might be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, applying a small amount of talcum powder inside, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine appearance of your white ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the synthetic leather and rubber outsole with a soft, damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used for stubborn marks, but avoid harsh chemicals.
- Suede Care: For suede panels, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid getting suede wet if possible.
- Stain Removal: For white surfaces, address stains immediately. Use a soft cloth with a small amount of diluted white vinegar or a shoe cleaner specifically designed for white trainers. Dab, don't rub aggressively.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede to protect against spills and elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
