FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the Kinsei Blast is designed with responsive technology that supports a wide range of athletic movements, including running.
How do I know if the UK 6.5 size will fit me?
ASICS generally follows standard sizing. We recommend comparing the internal length with your current favorite pair of trainers to ensure the best fit.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Will the blue accents fade after cleaning?
If cleaned with mild soap and cold water as recommended, the accents should remain vibrant. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made from breathable mesh materials which are not intended to be waterproof.
What is the best surface for these trainers?
These shoes perform best on flat, man-made surfaces like gym floors, asphalt, or concrete.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight in the forefoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'window lacing' method, to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Visible dirt on the grey mesh upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift stains without damaging the fabric fibers.
Sensation of heel slippage
Use the extra top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' to secure the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Kinsei Blast trainers remain in peak condition, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Initial Fit: When first trying them on, ensure you have a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot expansion.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets effectively to secure your midfoot. Avoid overtightening, as this can restrict blood flow and create pressure points.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as high heat can damage the foam cushioning.
- Air Dry: Always allow your shoes to air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
