FAQs

Are these suitable for actual trail running?

While the Gel-Terrain series has trail running origins, this collaboration model with its mid-top design and embellishments is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear. For technical trail running, ASICS offers specialized models.

How do I clean the floral parts?

Gently spot clean the floral embellishments with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using chemicals that could damage the material or adhesive.

Can I replace the speed-lace cord?

Yes, replacement speed-lace cords are often available from ASICS or third-party retailers. Follow the instructions for your specific lacing system for replacement.

What is the benefit of the neoprene sockliner?

The neoprene sockliner provides a snug, comfortable fit around the ankle and contributes to the shoe's overall cushioning and support.

What is the main difference between this and a standard ASICS trainer?

This model features a mid-top silhouette, unique floral embellishments by Cecilie Bahnsen, and a toggled speed-lacing system, distinguishing it from typical low-top, standard-laced athletic trainers with a focus on lifestyle fashion.

Is the sizing unisex?

Yes, the product information indicates these are unisex adult trainers. Ensure you refer to the UK sizing provided for accurate fitting.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty adjusting speed-lacing

Ensure the toggle is fully released before attempting to tighten or loosen. If the cord feels stuck, check for any knots or debris.

Uneven fit or pressure points

Loosen the speed lacing completely and re-adjust, ensuring the foot is positioned correctly inside the sneaker. Check if the neoprene sockliner is sitting properly.

Floral embellishments appearing loose

Gently attempt to re-secure any loose threads by hand or with a small needle. For significant damage, professional repair may be advised.

Reduced cushioning over time

The FlyteFoam and GEL technology are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with heavy use. Consider adding aftermarket insoles for additional support if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for unisex adult wear. While inspired by trail running, they are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities rather than aggressive off-road terrain.

Care:
