FAQs
How often should I replace my Gel-Flux 8 shoes?
It is recommended to replace your running shoes every 300-500 miles, or sooner if you notice a significant loss of cushioning or support.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the Gel-Flux 8 is suitable for road running and general fitness, it is not specifically designed for trail running. The outsole might not provide enough grip on uneven terrain.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Flux 8 shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Are the materials in these shoes eco-friendly?
Yes, at least 30% of the main upper material is made with recycled content and the sockliner is produced with a solution dyeing process that reduces water and carbon emissions.
What kind of arch support do these shoes offer?
The Gel-Flux 8 is designed with a neutral arch support. If you require specific arch support, you may need to use custom orthotics.
What is the benefit of the GEL technology?
GEL technology in the rearfoot and forefoot areas provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact and offering a softer feeling at footstrike.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try loosening the laces or consider going up a half size.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after a few runs.
Check the sockliner for any issues and ensure the shoes are laced properly. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a podiatrist.
The shoes are wearing out quickly.
Check running form and consider varying your training surfaces. Replace shoes regularly (every 300-500 miles) to maintain cushioning and support.
