FAQs
What is Scutoid GEL technology and how does it benefit me?
Scutoid GEL technology is an advanced cushioning system in the midsole that features an off-axis structure and 3D geometry. It's designed to significantly improve shock absorption, providing enhanced comfort and impact protection, especially on hard urban surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for running or other athletic activities?
The ASICS GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC is primarily designed for urban exploration, casual wear, and providing comfort for daily activities. While it incorporates athletic-inspired technology, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How should I clean the mesh and synthetic upper materials?
To clean the upper, gently wipe it with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the materials. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the recommended sizing for these shoes?
These shoes are listed in UK adult sizing. ASICS generally runs true to size, but we recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering individual foot shape and preference for socks.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
The ASICS GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC is best suited for urban environments, including pavements, concrete sidewalks, and general city walking. Its robust rubber sole and advanced cushioning are optimized for these types of surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Experiencing discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Verify that the shoe size and width are correct for your foot. Allow for a short break-in period for the shoe to adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider re-evaluating the fit.
Soles appear to be wearing down quickly or losing grip.
The rubber sole is designed for urban use. Avoid using the shoes on extremely abrasive surfaces or for activities they are not intended for. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent embedded debris from compromising grip. If wear is excessive, it may indicate suitability issues for your primary activities.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Remove the insoles after use and allow the shoes and insoles to air dry thoroughly. You can also use shoe deodorizers, foot powder, or place cedar shoe trees inside to absorb moisture and odor. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
