FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 14 suitable for running?

The GEL-DS Trainer 14 is designed primarily as a lifestyle shoe, inspired by running aesthetics. While it features cushioning and support, it is not optimized for high-performance running or athletic training.

How do I clean the ecru mesh upper?

Gently use a slightly damp cloth and a soft brush to clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing to prevent damage.

What does the TRUSSTIC system do?

The TRUSSTIC system is located in the midfoot and provides torsional rigidity, enhancing stability and preventing excessive twisting of the foot.

Is the sizing true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly between models. It is recommended to consult the official ASICS sizing chart and consider reviews for specific feedback on fit.

What is the main design inspiration for this shoe?

The ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 14 draws design cues from ASICS archival running shoes from the 2000s, blending retro style with modern comfort features.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 14. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.

What is the benefit of the rearfoot GEL pod cushioning?

The rearfoot GEL pod cushioning is designed to absorb shock upon heel strike, providing a more comfortable and cushioned landing during wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider using them for short periods initially to allow for natural break-in, or consult sizing guides for potential variations.

Discomfort in heel area

Verify correct sizing and ensure the laces are tied appropriately to secure the heel. The rearfoot GEL cushioning may take a short period to adapt to your foot's shape.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Use a soft brush and a damp cloth for cleaning. Ensure they are not exposed to excessive friction or sharp objects.

Slight squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's components. Try inserting a thin insole or talcum powder under the existing insole to reduce friction.

Care Instructions:

  2. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber sole with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution.
