FAQs
What kind of running are these trainers best suited for?
The Asics Gel-Quantum Kei Trainers are versatile and suitable for a range of activities, from casual daily jogs to more intensive race training sessions, thanks to their superior cushioning and breathable design.
How does Gel-Quantum technology benefit me?
Gel-Quantum technology in the sole provides advanced cushioning and superior shock absorption. This helps to reduce the impact on your joints during your run, minimizing fatigue and enhancing overall comfort.
Can I machine wash my Gel-Quantum Kei Trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, glues, and cushioning technology. Please follow the care instructions for manual cleaning to preserve their integrity.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation, keeping your feet cool and dry. However, it is not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider waterproof running gear or avoid deep puddles.
What is the recommended lifespan for these running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes depends on factors like mileage, running style, and body weight. Generally, running shoes are recommended for replacement every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km) or after 6-12 months of regular use, as cushioning and support degrade over time.
Are insoles removable if I want to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles in the Asics Gel-Quantum Kei Trainers are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or specialized insoles for personalized support and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel hot and sweaty during runs
Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking material. The breathable mesh upper helps, but proper sock choice is key. Consider airing out shoes after each use.
Experiencing discomfort or pain after runs
Check your lacing; it might be too tight or too loose. Also, ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. If discomfort persists, consult a running specialist to check your gait and consider different insoles.
Shoes feel less responsive or 'flat'
Over time, cushioning can compress. While Gel-Quantum technology is durable, if the shoes have many miles on them (typically 300-500 miles), it might be time to consider a replacement pair to maintain optimal performance and injury prevention.
Unpleasant odour from trainers
Remove insoles and air them out thoroughly. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda in the shoes overnight. Ensure trainers are completely dry after runs before storing them.
Upper mesh shows signs of wear or tearing
This can happen with prolonged use or snagging. While not easily repairable, regular gentle cleaning and careful handling can prolong the lifespan of the mesh. Avoid abrasive surfaces where possible.

Compatibility
The Asics Gel-Quantum Kei Trainers are designed for adult male runners (for this specific Black 11 UK variant) and are suitable for a range of running activities, from casual jogs to more rigorous race training. Their cushioning and breathable features make them adaptable to various running surfaces, though they excel on roads and tracks. They are generally compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care
To maximize the lifespan and maintain the performance of your Gel-Quantum Kei Trainers, follow these general care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt using a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help retain their shape.
- Odour Control: If odours develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge your trainers in water, as this can degrade the cushioning and upper materials.
