Full details

The Asics GEL-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of heritage style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the responsive cushioning and versatile, street-ready silhouette. A potential caveat is that while they offer everyday performance, they are not specialized for intense athletic training. This shoe fuses classic running shoe aesthetics with innovative technology, featuring GEL cushioning, a synthetic upper with leather accents, and FF BLAST PLUS ECO for a responsive ride.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While they offer excellent cushioning and a running-inspired design, the GEL-Kinetic Fluent trainers are primarily designed for everyday comfort and versatile wear, not specialized for high-performance marathon running.

How do I clean the synthetic upper and leather accents?

For the synthetic upper, use a damp cloth. For the leather accents, wipe clean with a damp cloth and consider using a leather conditioner periodically to maintain their appearance. Do not machine wash.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

The trainers feature Asics' signature GEL cushioning for shock absorption, combined with FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning for a lightweight and responsive ride.

Can these be worn by women?

While this specific product information is for men's sizing, Asics often offers similar styles in women's sizing. Please check for available women's versions.

What type of surfaces are the rubber soles best for?

The rubber sole is designed to provide durable traction on most urban surfaces, including pavement, concrete, and indoor flooring.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Ensure you are using the correct UK size. Adjust the lace-up closure to your preference for a snug yet comfortable fit. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for optimal support without being too tight.

Slipping sensation during walking

Check if the laces are tied securely. Ensure the rubber sole is free from debris that might reduce traction. The sole may require time to fully grip surfaces after production.

Discoloration on leather accents

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consider using a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
