FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing handball?
While inspired by 1990s handball shoes, the ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers are updated for modern comfort and style. They are best suited for casual wear and light activities, rather than high-intensity or competitive sports where specialized performance footwear is recommended.
What kind of cushioning do these trainers feature?
These trainers feature dual cushioning: EVA cushioning in the wedge heel for shock absorption and ASICS' advanced FLYTEFOAM PROPEL technology for lightweight bounce and energy return.
How do I clean the synthetic leather and suede parts?
For synthetic leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede panels, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture on suede.
Are these trainers true to size?
ASICS generally runs true to size. We recommend trying them on to confirm the best fit, especially if you have wider feet or are between sizes. Refer to the UK sizing provided.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
The synthetic leather offers some water resistance, but the suede panels are susceptible to water damage. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or applying a waterproof spray specifically designed for suede for better protection.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles in the ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers are removable, which can be useful for airing out the shoes or inserting custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., skip eyelets for pressure points) or allow a break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.
Suede panels look matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush off dirt and lift the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water or harsh cleaning solutions on suede.
Sole appears to be losing grip.
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the soles are completely dry before wearing.
Unpleasant odor from trainers.
Remove the insoles and let both trainers and insoles air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning: For synthetic leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede panels, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not expose to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow both trainers and insoles to air out. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for synthetic leather and suede to guard against water and stains, especially for the white color variant.
