FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper is water-resistant, these shoes are not fully waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain to prevent damage to the material.
Can I use these for marathon running?
These are categorized as trainers for daily wear and light activity; they lack the advanced technical features required for long-distance road running.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for light cleaning, and always wipe away moisture immediately. Use leather-specific products for deep cleaning.
Are these true to size?
ASICS generally follows standard UK sizing, but if you have wider feet, you may consider a half-size larger due to the firm nature of the leather.
Are these suitable for gym use?
Yes, they provide the necessary stability for strength training and gym-based activities.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface scuffing
Apply a matching black leather cream or polish to hide surface marks and restore shine.
Inner lining feeling damp
Remove the insoles to allow the shoe to breathe properly and use a shoe deodorizer if necessary.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and consider using a slightly thicker sock for a more snug fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your ASICS Gel-170 TR, ensure you verify the UK size for a proper fit, as leather shoes have limited stretch compared to fabric models. To break them in, wear them for short periods around the house before attempting full-day use.
For care, remove surface dust with a soft, dry cloth. If the leather becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature—avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Use a standard leather conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness of the material and prevent premature aging.
