FAQs

What type of court surfaces are these trainers best suited for?

These trainers are best suited for indoor court surfaces such as wooden or synthetic courts, offering optimal traction and durability for sports like volleyball and badminton.

How do I clean the ASICS Sky Elite FF MT 3 Trainers?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Is the mid-cut design suitable for all players?

The mid-cut design offers enhanced ankle support, which is beneficial for many athletes. However, some players may prefer a lower cut. Trying them on is recommended to ensure comfort and fit.

What is FlyteFoam technology?

FlyteFoam is an advanced midsole material developed by ASICS that provides exceptional bounce-back and durability. It's significantly lighter than traditional EVA foam, offering superior cushioning and responsiveness.

How durable is the AHAR rubber outsole?

AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is a strategically placed compound designed to provide extra durability, especially in high-wear areas of the outsole, ensuring a longer lifespan for the shoe.

Can these trainers be used for running or general training?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support, these trainers are specifically designed for the demands of court sports. For dedicated running or general gym training, specialized footwear might be more appropriate.

What does the 'MT' in Sky Elite FF MT 3 signify?

The 'MT' typically stands for 'Mid Top', indicating the mid-cut design that provides additional ankle support.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on court

Ensure the AHAR rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Wipe with a damp cloth. If the outsole appears worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

Discomfort around the ankle

Verify the laces are tied correctly, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. Allow a short break-in period for the mid-cut design to adapt to your ankle shape. Ensure you have the correct shoe size.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time

FlyteFoam cushioning may naturally lose some responsiveness after extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not consistently exposed to extreme temperatures, which can affect material properties. Regular cleaning can help maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a short period initially to break them in before intense activity.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor court sports. Their traction pattern is optimized for polished wooden or synthetic court surfaces. They are not recommended for outdoor use or rough surfaces as this can impact durability and traction.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shape and damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage.
  4. Laces: Regularly check laces for wear and tear and replace if necessary.
