What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh base, complemented by leather overlays for added structure and durability.
How should I clean the mesh parts of the sneakers?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents that could damage the material.
What is the Style Code for this specific model?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements. If still unsure, consider trying them on in person or checking customer reviews for fit feedback.
Discomfort during wear
Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. The GEL™ technology provides cushioning, but a proper fit is crucial for comfort.
Exterior dirt or scuffs
For minor dirt, use a damp cloth. For scuffs on leather, a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser can be used with caution. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
