FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by track spikes, this is a lifestyle-focused trainer. They are suitable for light activity, but not recommended for intensive athletic training or long-distance running.
How do I swap the laces?
Simply unthread the current laces from all eyelets and pass the new set through in a criss-cross pattern, starting from the toe and moving toward the ankle.
Do they provide good arch support?
Yes, the integrated Trusstic system provides structural stability and midfoot support, which aids in maintaining a comfortable gait.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe. Use a damp cloth for spot cleaning instead.
What is the best way to clean the sole?
Use a warm, damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to scrub the rubber outsole, then air dry away from heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness in the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly before inserting your foot and re-adjust starting from the bottom eyelets to accommodate your natural foot width.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the provided laces have a smooth finish, or replace with a slightly textured alternative if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-DS Trainer SP stays in top condition, follow these steps:
- Lacing: Choose between the two included lace sets based on your preferred style; ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets to maintain the 'three-point fit' integrity.
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard sizing, but due to their slim, athletic-inspired build, ensure your arch is properly supported before long-term use.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole. For the upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully immersing the shoes in water or putting them in a dryer.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
