Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-SD Lyte trainers in Midnight Cream are designed for adults seeking a lightweight, retro-inspired shoe that offers modern cushioning for dynamic workouts and everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the blend of breathable materials, a supportive low-profile sole, and the signature GEL cushioning for joint protection. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific Y2K aesthetic, which may not suit all personal styles.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-SD Lyte trainers are designed for lightweight comfort and support, ideal for casual wear and light workouts. For marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes with specialized cushioning and support features are generally recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning system in the heel is designed to absorb impact shock, providing enhanced comfort and reducing stress on your joints during wear.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, wearing socks is recommended for comfort and hygiene. The breathable materials of the shoe will work well with most types of athletic or casual socks.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Regular cleaning after use, especially if they are dirty, will help maintain their appearance and longevity. A thorough cleaning can be done as needed based on wear and environmental conditions.
What does 'FLYTEFOAM PROPEL' mean for comfort?
FLYTEFOAM PROPEL is an advanced cushioning technology that provides a more responsive and energized feel underfoot, contributing to overall comfort and a bouncier sensation.
Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a snugger fit, try lacing them differently. Some materials may offer a slight stretch over time with wear.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or moisture. Try checking the insoles for looseness or ensuring the shoes are completely dry.
Discomfort during walking
Verify that the shoes are properly broken in. Initially, wear them for short periods. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being too tight.
