FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are designed for light athletic activity and casual use; they are not recommended for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the Gel cushioning. Clean them by hand only.
Are these waterproof?
While leather provides some resistance to water, they are not classified as waterproof. Avoid heavy rain.
Is the insole removable?
The insoles are generally designed to be fixed; however, you can usually replace them with your own orthotic inserts if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the ASICS Gel-170 features a leather construction, it is important to follow proper maintenance to preserve the material.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth to remove dust or light dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can warp the leather or damage the cushioning properties.
