FAQs
Is the ASICS EX89 suitable for wide feet?
The EX89 generally fits true to size, but the leather construction may offer some slight give over time compared to synthetic mesh shoes.
Can I use these for basketball games?
While the design is inspired by heritage basketball shoes, it is intended as a lifestyle sneaker and lacks the technical performance features of modern on-court basketball footwear.
How should I clean the white leather areas?
Use a dedicated leather cleaning solution and a soft cloth to gently buff out marks without damaging the finish.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While leather provides some basic protection, these shoes are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases from walking
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Surface dirt accumulation
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your ASICS EX89 in top condition, focus on proper material care. Since these shoes feature leather, it is recommended to wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove surface dust. If you encounter minor stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical solvents that can degrade the finish. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading or material cracking. Ensure you allow the shoes to air out after a full day of wear to maintain interior freshness.
