FAQs
Are these ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei Trainers suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the comprehensive Gel-Quantum Technology, FLYTEFOAM cushioning, and targeted GEL technology on the heel are specifically designed to provide optimal shock absorption and comfort, making them well-suited for extended running sessions and distances.
How should I clean the upper materials of my trainers?
For the faux leather and mesh upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the shoes in water, and allow them to air dry completely.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
ASICS cushioning technology is engineered to deliver a perfect fit and optimal support. This design inherently includes features that consider natural foot mechanics and aim to provide adequate arch support for most users.
Can I use these trainers for everyday casual wear?
Absolutely. With their modern and stylish design, the ASICS Gel-Quantum Kei Trainers are comfortable and versatile enough to complement various sports outfits and serve as an excellent option for everyday casual wear.
What types of surfaces are these trainers best suited for?
The durable rubber outsole is engineered to offer exceptional grip on all surfaces, making these trainers highly versatile for use on tracks, roads, gym floors, and other common athletic environments.
Does the use of recycled materials affect the trainer's performance or appearance?
No, the integration of recycled faux leather into the upper is done seamlessly. It does not visibly alter the shoe's aesthetic, nor does it compromise its performance, durability, or comfort.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing during use.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks designed to prevent friction. Check that the shoe size is correct for your foot. Experiment with different lacing techniques to achieve a more customized and comfortable fit that avoids pressure points.
A squeaking sound comes from the trainers when walking.
New shoes can sometimes squeak, which often resolves naturally with regular wear as the materials settle. If it persists, check for any small debris lodged in the sole or between layers, and ensure the insole is properly seated without movement.
The trainers develop an unpleasant odor after use.
After each use, ensure the trainers are thoroughly aired out in a well-ventilated area. Consider removing the insoles to allow both the shoe interior and insoles to dry separately. Using shoe deodorizers, anti-odor inserts, or placing sachets of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help absorb moisture and neutralize smells.
The grip seems less effective on certain surfaces.
Regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that can reduce traction. Ensure the shoe's tread is not excessively worn down, as this indicates it may be time for replacement, especially if used frequently on rough surfaces.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher spots, a small amount of mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes that could damage the faux leather and mesh.
- Drying: After cleaning or intense use, allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or in direct sunlight) as this can damage materials. Never machine wash or machine dry your trainers.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Odor Control: To prevent odors, ensure shoes are aired out after each use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or natural alternatives like baking soda sachets inside the shoes overnight.
