FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running?
While the GEL-KINETIC Fluent draws inspiration from archived running shoes and features advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed for all-day comfort and casual wear, not high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
What is the primary benefit of FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning?
FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning provides a lightweight, energetic, and responsive feel, enhancing comfort during everyday wear by offering soft landings and a springy toe-off.
How does Scutoid GEL technology improve comfort?
Scutoid GEL technology is strategically placed within the shoe to absorb shock effectively, providing a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, which contributes to overall foot comfort throughout the day.
Can I wear these shoes in light rain?
The synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but the shoes are not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is advisable to wear more appropriate waterproof footwear to protect the shoes' materials.
How do I choose the correct size?
The ASICS GEL-KINETIC Fluent uses standard UK men's sizing. For the best fit, it's recommended to measure your foot and consult the ASICS sizing chart, or try on the shoes if possible.
What kind of socks should I wear with these sneakers?
For optimal comfort, it's recommended to wear moisture-wicking athletic or casual socks. This will help manage moisture and prevent friction, enhancing the all-day comfort provided by the shoe's cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
First, try adjusting the lacing. Loosen the laces across the top of your foot or experiment with different lacing patterns. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size; a half-size larger might provide more room.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes happen with new shoes or if the insole rubs against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the sound persists, inspect the sole for any loose elements.
Synthetic upper appears dull or stained.
Clean the affected area immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more stubborn stains, a specialized synthetic shoe cleaner can be used. Follow the product's instructions carefully and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Lack of expected cushioning feel over time.
While durable, cushioning can compress over extensive use. Ensure your insoles are not excessively worn. Consider replacing the insoles with new ones, or assess if it's time to replace the shoes, especially if comfort has significantly diminished.

Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your GEL-KINETIC Fluent sneakers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe down the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the material. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Cleaning the Sole: A soft brush or old toothbrush can be used with mild soap and water to clean dirt and debris from the rubber sole.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
