FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, but those with wider feet may prefer going up a half size.
Can I use these for intense sports?
While they feature ASICS technology, they are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use rather than high-impact athletic performance.
What is the primary difference between these and standard ASICS trainers?
The Novalis collection focuses on the design-led vision of Kiko Kostadinov, emphasizing architectural silhouettes and premium aesthetic details.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which is convenient if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
How often should I clean them?
Spot cleaning as needed after heavy use is recommended to prevent dirt from setting into the fabric.
Does the black colour fade?
High-quality black dyes are used, but avoiding direct, prolonged UV exposure will help maintain the deep pigment of the upper.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and reduce deep-set wrinkles.
Difficulty getting a snug fit
Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as the heel lock method, to better secure your foot in the shoe.
Accumulated dust in textures
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the crevices without damaging the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Teremoa sneakers, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity to get the best feel for the interior structure.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water to protect the specialized materials.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black finish over time.
- Maintenance: If the laces become frayed, replace them with standard flat athletic laces that match the dimensions of the originals to maintain the intended look.
