FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking?
While the GORE-TEX provides waterproofing and the outsole offers decent traction, these trainers are optimized for running. For extensive or rugged hiking, specialized hiking boots would be more appropriate.
How do I clean mud off the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dry mud. Then, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the affected areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Air dry completely away from heat.
What is the main advantage of GORE-TEX in these trainers?
GORE-TEX ensures the trainers are both waterproof and breathable. This means your feet stay dry from external moisture like rain or puddles, while also allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape, keeping your feet comfortable.
How long does the GEL cushioning typically last?
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability and should provide effective shock absorption for hundreds of miles of running. Performance may gradually decrease with very high mileage or improper use.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe.
What type of running are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for road running and light trail running. They offer excellent comfort and cushioning for daily runs, long-distance running, and general fitness activities.
What does AHAR stand for?
AHAR stands for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. It's a durable rubber compound used in the outsole to provide enhanced longevity and better grip.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claims
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that laces are tied snugly and the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Minor surface moisture may occur on very wet conditions if water sits on the shoe for extended periods.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity, but may feel less pronounced after extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities that cause excessive wear beyond running. Consider replacing the shoes if the cushioning is significantly diminished.
Traction feels poor on wet surfaces
The AHAR outsole provides good traction, but on extremely slick surfaces, grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. If wear is visible on the tread pattern, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discomfort during runs
Verify that the size and fit are correct. Break in the shoes gradually if they are new. Ensure socks are appropriate for running. If discomfort persists, consult with a running specialist to assess gait and shoe suitability.

Care:

- Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid crushing them to maintain their shape.
