FAQs
What is the inspiration behind the Gel-nunobiki name?
The name 'Nunobiki' refers to a trail in Kobe, Japan, known for its serene waterfalls. This reflects the shoe's outdoor-inspired design.
Are these shoes suitable for actual trail running?
The Gel-nunobiki trainers have an urban trail aesthetic and are best suited for casual wear or light, well-maintained paths. They are not designed for technical trail running.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Compare your measurement to the chart to find the corresponding UK size. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-nunobiki trainers are listed as unisex and can be worn by individuals of any gender.
What materials are used in the construction?
The upper is constructed using a combination of synthetic matte and semi-gloss layers.
How should I clean mud or dirt from the shoes?
Use a damp cloth to wipe off surface dirt. For more persistent dirt, a soft brush with a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with ones that offer better grip.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Consider using insoles for added cushioning if needed.
Scuff marks on synthetic material
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper scuffs, a specialized shoe cleaner for synthetic materials may be required.
