FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they utilize running technology, the Gel-Kinetic 2.0 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday wear rather than technical sports.
How do I determine my size?
This model follows standard adult UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size based on your current well-fitting athletic trainers.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for additional support.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper features a combination of synthetic textiles and molded overlays designed for durability and a modern aesthetic.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the molded overlays and the cushioning properties of the GEL pods.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet for a tighter heel lock.
Accumulation of dust in GEL pods
Use a compressed air duster or a soft toothbrush to gently clear debris from the gaps in the scutoid pods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Kinetic 2.0, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the lace-up closure is snug but not restrictive to maintain proper circulation.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the molded overlays. For deep cleaning, spot-treat with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material degradation or warping of the GEL pods.
- Rotation: If worn daily, rotate with another pair of shoes to allow the foam cushioning to decompress completely.
