FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gel-170 TR is designed primarily as a versatile trainer for light activities and daily wear rather than specialized long-distance running.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather provides more natural resistance than fabric, these are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray if used in wet conditions.
How do I determine if a UK 9.5 is the right size?
Measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it against the standard UK sizing chart. It is recommended to have a small amount of space at the toes for comfort.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface showing scuffs or marks
Apply a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface imperfections.
Shoes feel too tight initially
Loosen the lacing system and wear the shoes for shorter periods indoors to allow the leather upper to naturally soften and stretch.
Material getting damp or dirty
Wipe immediately with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally; avoid direct exposure to radiators or hair dryers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-170 TR trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather shoes may feel firm initially; wear them for short durations to allow the material to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly on the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or drying out.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizing. Ensure you check the sizing guide to verify that a UK 9.5 aligns with your personal measurement for a secure fit.
