FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or playing handball?

No, the ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers are inspired by 90s handball shoes but are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or competitive sports. Their primary benefit is style and comfort for daily use.

What materials are the trainers made from?

The upper features a combination of synthetic leather and suede panels. The outsole is made of rubber, and the cushioning in the wedge heel uses EVA foam, influenced by FLYTEFOAM PROPEL technology.

How do I clean my ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers?

For synthetic leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, the ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers run true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially in the toe box and heel, is recommended.

What kind of cushioning do these trainers have?

They feature a wedge heel with EVA cushioning for lightweight comfort. The design is also influenced by FLYTEFOAM PROPEL technology, providing a responsive feel.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the synthetic leather offers some water resistance, the suede panels are susceptible to water damage and staining. It's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their appearance and integrity. Applying a water-repellent spray for suede can offer some protection.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow for a brief break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size larger or adjusting lacing.

Suede sections are dirty or stained

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can damage the suede's nap.

Outsole loses grip or appears worn quickly

The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. Ensure you are not using the trainers for activities beyond their intended casual use, such as intense sports. Regular cleaning of the outsole can also help maintain grip by removing embedded dirt.

Materials develop creases or show signs of wear prematurely

Proper care and storage are crucial. Avoid excessive bending or harsh cleaning agents. Consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain their shape. Ensure they are kept away from extreme temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers involves proper initial fit, understanding their compatibility with your lifestyle, and maintaining them correctly.

Setup: Achieving the Perfect Fit

Try Them On: Always try on both trainers with the type of socks you typically wear. Walk around to ensure there's enough room in the toe box and that your heel doesn't slip.
Sizing: These trainers are generally true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort, especially given the retro fit.
Break-In Period: Like many shoes with synthetic leather and suede, a short break-in period might be necessary to allow the materials to conform to your feet for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: Where They Shine

These trainers are highly versatile for:

Casual Wear: Excellent for daily use, errands, and relaxed social events.
Street Style: Their retro design makes them a strong statement piece for urban fashion.
Light Activity: Suitable for walking, standing, and general day-to-day movement.

They are less compatible with:

High-Intensity Sports: Not recommended for running, basketball, or other sports requiring specialized athletic support and cushioning.
Formal Attire: Their sporty, casual nature makes them unsuitable for business or formal occasions.

Care: Keeping Your Trainers Pristine

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers, follow these care instructions:

General Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (a dedicated shoe brush or an old toothbrush works well).
Synthetic Leather Panels: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Suede Panels: For scuffs or light dirt, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Rubber Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and grime.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
