FAQs
What is Scutoid GEL technology?
Scutoid GEL technology features a unique 3D geometric design engineered by the Institute of Sport Science to provide advanced shock absorption and cushioning, specifically benefiting impact on hard urban surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running or gym workouts?
While inspired by ASICS' running franchises, the Gel-Quantum Kinetic is optimized for urban landscapes, daily walking, and casual wear. It offers excellent comfort and shock absorption for city environments but is not specifically designed for high-performance athletic running or intense gym workouts.
How should I clean the ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic shoes?
For leather sections, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. For mesh parts, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
What kind of grip can I expect from the outsoles?
The shoes feature grippy rubber outsoles designed to provide reliable traction on various urban surfaces, including pavements and sidewalks. They offer good stability for daily city activities.
What materials are used in the upper part of the shoe?
The upper features a layered aesthetic constructed from a combination of durable leather and breathable mesh panels, offering both style and comfort.
Is this model available in other sizes or colors?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic series is available in a range of sizes and colorways. This specific product guide details the Black color in UK size 11 for adult males.
Can I wear these shoes in light rain?
The shoes feature leather and mesh, which offer some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not waterproof. For prolonged wet conditions, additional water protection is recommended to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Check if laces are tied too tightly and try adjusting them. Wear appropriate socks.
Foot odor develops after wearing
Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between wears. Remove insoles to dry. Use foot powder or anti-odor inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize smells.
Slipping on slightly wet urban surfaces
While outsoles are grippy, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Ensure outsoles are clean and free of debris. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.
Stains on leather or mesh parts
Address stains promptly. For leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. For mesh, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush should suffice. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it, or consider replacing the insole if worn.
