Asics Shushu Tong Gel-kinetic Fluent Trainers - Grey/White - UK 4.5

While these trainers offer comfort and support, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. For marathon running, a dedicated performance running shoe would be more appropriate.

For the textured leather, use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner designed for textured surfaces is recommended. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

The uniqueness comes from the collaboration with SHUSHU/TONG, which influences the design aesthetic, material choices, and overall silhouette, resulting in a more fashion-forward and distinctive look than standard Asics trainers.

The trainers have a rubber sole that offers some protection, but the mesh panels are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

The chunky rubber sole provides a contemporary aesthetic, enhances durability, and offers good traction on various surfaces. It also contributes to the overall comfort and support of the shoe.

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and potential damage. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or damp conditions.

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Use a leather eraser or a specialized leather cleaner to gently remove marks. For deep scuffs, a leather repair kit might be necessary.

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to carefully clean the mesh areas.

This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the sole and upper if accessible.
