FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the EX89 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily, casual wear rather than high-intensity running or sports performance.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing the size you typically wear in other casual athletic brands.
Can I machine wash the ASICS EX89?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Always clean by hand.
Does the leather require a break-in period?
Because they are made from genuine leather, they may feel slightly firm initially but will conform to your foot shape after a few wears.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The EX89 features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to ensure you have tried your correct size or look for a half-size adjustment.
Can I use these in wet weather?
While leather is more resistant to light moisture than mesh, they are not waterproof. Use a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light rain.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface dirt accumulation on white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mix of water and mild soap with a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stains.
Squeaking sound during walking
This often occurs due to friction between the inner sole and foot; ensure the insole is properly seated or try wearing slightly thicker moisture-wicking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS EX89 trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth or a leather-specific cleaner to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap solution and ensure the shoes air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. When fitting, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the structured leather may have a slight break-in period compared to fabric alternatives. For best results, use a leather protector spray periodically to repel water and grime, keeping that signature white aesthetic clean for longer.
