FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for the gym?
They are ideal for light casual activity and lifting, but are not recommended for high-impact running due to their lifestyle design.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend trying the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-170 TR utilizes high-quality leather for the exterior construction.
Do these provide arch support?
They offer standard support suitable for daily use, but you may add orthotic insoles if you require specific arch correction.
Are they waterproof?
They are water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend a leather protector spray for better resistance against damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial use
Loosen the laces fully to redistribute tension and wear them with thinner socks initially until the leather softens.
Surface scuffs appearing on leather
Use a specialized leather cream or polish that matches the black finish to buff out minor surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-170 TR trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter durations over the first week to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light rain and stains.
