FAQs
What type of running are these shoes best suited for?
The Asics GelPhoenix 13 trainers are best suited for road running and jogging due to their GEL™ cushioning and supportive design, which helps absorb shock and protect joints.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
We strongly recommend trying the shoes on before use. Be aware that sizing labels on the box or shoe may display US or EU sizes which can differ from UK sizes. Consult a size chart if unsure.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and the GEL™ technology. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, and air dry.
What is the main benefit of the GEL™ technology?
The GEL™ technology is specifically designed to provide excellent shock absorption during the impact phase of running, which helps to relieve stress on your joints.
Are these trainers suitable for trail running?
While the outsole has an anti-slip profile, these trainers are primarily designed for road running. For technical trail running with uneven terrain, a shoe with a more aggressive tread pattern would be more appropriate.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of the Asics GelPhoenix 13 trainers is made of textile, providing durability and a comfortable fit.
How long can I expect these trainers to last?
The lifespan of running shoes varies depending on usage, frequency, and running surface. Typically, trainers like these last between 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning and support start to significantly diminish.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect despite ordering the correct UK size.
Check the US/Euro size on the shoe's label and compare it with reliable conversion charts. Always try shoes on indoors before wearing them outside to ensure a perfect fit.
Reduced shock absorption or cushioning over time.
The GEL™ technology may degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if you have accumulated significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Outsole grip seems reduced on wet surfaces.
While designed with an anti-slip profile, extreme wet conditions can still pose a risk. Clean the outsole of any debris to maximize grip. For very slippery conditions, extra caution is advised.
