What does 'scutoid GEL technology' do?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better suit your foot shape. Wearing different thickness socks can also impact fit.
Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Check your lacing; it might be too tight in certain areas. Break-in new shoes gradually. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction. If persistent, check for proper shoe size and width.
Shoes develop an odor.
Remove insoles after use to air out. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
Sole appears worn out quickly.
While durable, sole wear depends on usage and running gait. Regular rotation with other shoes can extend life. If wear is uneven, consult a specialist to check your gait.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing brushes that could damage the material. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers). Excessive heat can warp materials and adhesives.
