FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best for?
The Asics GelPhoenix 13 Trainers are best suited for daily running, jogging, and general fitness activities where comfort and shock absorption are prioritized.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
We recommend referring to the Asics sizing chart and carefully comparing your foot measurement to the UK, US, and EU equivalents. It's also advised to try them on indoors to confirm the fit before use, as box labels might show different sizing conventions.
Can I wear these for other sports like tennis or basketball?
While they offer good stability, these trainers are primarily designed for forward motion in running. For sports involving significant lateral movement, a shoe designed specifically for that sport might offer better support and protection.
How often should I replace my GelPhoenix 13 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 kilometers) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The textile upper is not inherently waterproof. These trainers are designed for breathability during exercise and are not intended for use in wet conditions.
What is the main benefit of the GELTM technology?
The GELTM technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a cushioned landing and reducing the impact on your joints, especially during high-impact activities like running.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Double-check the size conversion between UK, US, and EU sizes. Ensure you are comparing against the correct sizing chart for the specific model. Try them on indoors to assess the fit before use.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GELTM technology's cushioning may decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant reduction in shock absorption.
Outsole grip seems poor
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from excessive mud, dirt, or debris. The anti-slip profile is most effective on clean surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup and are ready for use immediately upon purchase. They are compatible with standard athletic wear and are best suited for running and jogging activities. To care for your Asics GelPhoenix 13 Trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Footwear Fit: Always try on footwear before returning, as the box or label may state a US/Euro size which is different to the UK size. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with adequate room in the toe box.
