FAQs

What is the primary use case for the GEL-DS TRAINER 14?

The GEL-DS TRAINER 14 is primarily designed as a lightweight lifestyle trainer for everyday comfort and style, drawing inspiration from retro 2000s aesthetics.

Does this shoe offer significant support for running?

While it features TRUSSTIC support and GEL cushioning for general comfort and stability, it is not specifically engineered for high-impact running or athletic performance. It's best suited for casual wear and light activity.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

You can spot clean the mesh upper using a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is located in the midfoot and enhances stability by preventing unwanted twisting of the shoe, contributing to a more secure feel.

Is the sizing typical for ASICS trainers?

It is generally recommended to refer to ASICS' official sizing chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models and individuals.

Can these trainers be used in wet conditions?

The mesh upper provides breathability but may not offer significant protection in heavy rain. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try placing the shoes in a well-ventilated area to dry thoroughly or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder inside.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the size is correct and the lacing is adjusted properly. Consider if the activity exceeds the intended use for a lifestyle trainer.

Mesh appears dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry.
