FAQs

What makes the ASICS Gel-Sonoma 15-50 x A.P.C. 'Lilac Opal' unique?

The uniqueness comes from the collaboration with A.P.C., resulting in the distinctive 'Lilac Opal' colorway and a blend of ASICS' functional design with A.P.C.'s fashion-forward aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

While the Gel-Sonoma series has roots in trail running, this specific 'Lilac Opal' low-top model is primarily designed for casual wear and urban environments. For serious hiking, a dedicated hiking shoe from ASICS may be more appropriate.

How do I clean the 'Lilac Opal' color effectively?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution with a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a clean cloth. Always air dry.

What does the '15-50' in the series name refer to?

The '15-50' typically indicates a specific iteration or design philosophy within the ASICS trail and outdoor footwear lines, often suggesting versatility across different terrains.

What is the main benefit of the Gel cushioning?

The GEL™ technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing cushioning and comfort to reduce fatigue during wear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

These shoes are not waterproof. While they offer some protection against light moisture, they are not intended for heavy rain or wet conditions.

How does the sizing run for this model?

Sizing generally follows standard ASICS footwear guidelines. It's recommended to refer to ASICS sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can be personal.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using different lacing techniques to adjust fit or exploring thicker/thinner socks.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Color transfer from shoes to socks

This can occasionally happen with new footwear, especially in darker colors or during the first few wears. Washing socks separately for the first few times may help. If persistent, contact customer support.

Traction seems insufficient on a specific surface

While designed with non-slip features, extreme conditions or unusual surfaces may affect grip. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.
