FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-SD-Lyte trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and urban exploration, featuring GEL cushioning for comfort. They are not engineered for high-performance running and may lack the specific support and features required for athletic training.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping when you walk.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The washing machine can damage the GEL cushioning, synthetic panels, and breathable mesh. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the main advantage of the GEL technology?
The ASICS GEL technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing superior cushioning and reducing impact on your joints during wear.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their colour and material integrity. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and durable synthetic panels for structure and longevity.
Does the outsole offer good grip?
Yes, the robust rubber outsole is designed with micro-flakes that enhance grip on various surfaces commonly found in urban environments.
Troubleshooting
Tread wear on the outsole
Normal wear and tear is expected. For accelerated wear, ensure you are not using them for activities beyond casual wear and avoid abrasive surfaces.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug, not overly tight, fit. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in.
Mesh becoming dirty
Clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap solution. For stubborn stains, a specific sneaker cleaner can be used, following product instructions.
Yellow accent colours fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing or drying. Clean with mild solutions and rinse thoroughly.
