FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they utilize running-inspired technology like FF BLAST PLUS and GEL cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers.
Is the sizing unisex?
Yes, this model is marketed as a unisex trainer, covering a wide range of adult sizes.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth with mild detergent and gently dab the area. Do not soak the shoe.
What is the primary function of the TPU cage?
The TPU TRUSSTIC cage is included to improve midfoot stability and prevent the shoe from twisting unnecessarily.
Can I remove the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure and minimize deep crease lines.
Dirt buildup in the GEL pods
Use a soft toothbrush or compressed air to gently remove debris from the crevices of the GEL pods.
Laces coming undone frequently
The provided laces are technical; ensure they are double-knotted or use a runner's knot to secure them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard adult fit. When sizing, consider your typical Asics fit as they generally run true to size. To maintain the integrity of the mesh and synthetic overlays, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
