FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

The ASICS Gel-kinetic fluent trainers are designed more for casual wear and light training. For marathon running, we recommend looking at ASICS models specifically engineered for long-distance performance, offering enhanced cushioning and support.

How do I know if I have the right size?

There should be a small amount of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe (about a thumb's width). The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should not feel too tight across the width of your foot.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

The trainers have a standard footbed. If you use custom orthotics or insoles, you may be able to remove the existing insole and replace it with yours, provided they are of a similar size and shape.

What does 'FF BLAST PLUS ECO' cushioning mean?

FF BLAST PLUS ECO is an advanced cushioning technology from ASICS that provides lightweight, responsive, and soft cushioning. The 'ECO' signifies that it is made with sustainable materials.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after muddy or dusty use. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance and prolong their life. Avoid deep cleaning unless necessary.

What is the main difference between this and a dedicated running shoe?

While inspired by running shoes, the Gel-kinetic fluent focuses on a balance of style and comfort for everyday use. Dedicated running shoes often feature more specialized support systems, energy return technologies, and specific designs for different running gaits and distances.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks. The mesh upper offers some flexibility, but fit is crucial for comfort.

Slight squeaking sound

This can occasionally happen with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If the noise persists, check that no foreign objects are trapped in the sole.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may slightly decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain their condition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combines classic running shoe style with modern comfort features.
  • Utilizes FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning for a responsive feel.
  • Breathable mesh upper promotes air circulation.
  • Suitable for casual wear and light fitness activities.
  • Durable construction with synthetic overlays.

Cons

  • May not offer sufficient support for intense athletic training.
  • Primarily designed for a female fit; male-specific models may vary.
  • Limited color options available in this specific variant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. While designed with a running shoe silhouette, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light fitness activities rather than specialized sports requiring advanced support.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
