ASICS UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 - Brown - UK 9

This particular variant features a polyester upper, contributing to its unique look and feel.

GEL technology is ASICS' signature impact-absorbing cushioning system, strategically placed in the rearfoot of these trainers. It helps to attenuate shock during impact, providing a softer landing and smoother transition, enhancing overall comfort.

The TRUSSTIC support unit is a technology designed to improve stability. It reinforces the middle part of the sole, helping to prevent the shoe from twisting excessively during movement, thereby supporting your foot's natural motion.

While the GEL-DS TRAINER series has roots in stability running, this UB9-S model offers excellent cushioning and stability for general training, light athletic activities, and everyday casual wear. For specialized or high-mileage running, it's always best to consider dedicated running shoes tailored to your specific gait and needs.

For the polyester upper, gently wipe dirt with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and submerging the shoes in water. Air dry completely away from direct heat. Refer to the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section for detailed instructions.

The design draws inspiration from reclaimed objects on natural landscapes and the intricate art of decoupage. This influence is reflected in the layered materials and the combination of bright, opaque colors with matte hues.

This model is a 'Curation Model' developed through a collaboration between the Kiko Kostadinov Studio and the ASICS SportStyle development team.

Adjust the lacing system. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the optimal fit for your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your activity.

Check your sock choice; thinner or thicker socks can alter fit. Ensure laces are not too tight, which can cause pressure points. Break-in period may be required for new shoes. If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist.

Regularly clean the polyester upper as per the care instructions. For stubborn marks, a gentle brush and mild soap solution can be effective. Consider using a protective spray designed for footwear to repel dirt and water.

Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to allow both the shoe interior and insoles to dry. Use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda sachets to absorb odors.

This can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and if necessary, applying a small amount of talcum powder between them before reinserting the insole.
