FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-QUANTUM KEI trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for lightweight comfort and everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for the specific demands of high-impact running and may lack the necessary support and durability for consistent running routines.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping excessively when you walk.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The harshness of a washing machine can damage the cushioning technology, adhesives, and upper materials. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the main benefit of the GEL-QUANTUM KEI design?
The primary benefit is the exceptional lightweight comfort, designed to help maintain harmony between mind and body throughout the day, inspired by the Japanese word 'kei' meaning lightness.
What materials are used in the midsole?
The midsole features a combination of FLYTEFOAM cushioning and ASICS' signature GEL technology for lightweight comfort and shock absorption.
How long should I expect the trainers to last?
The lifespan of the trainers depends on usage frequency and intensity. For daily casual wear, they should provide comfortable service for a considerable period. For more frequent or rigorous use, the lifespan may be shorter.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you typically require wider shoes, it's advisable to check if a wide (2E or 4E) option is available for this model or consider trying them on in person if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after first wear.
This is common as the shoes may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly.
Slight squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try to identify the source; often, it resolves with continued wear or by ensuring the insoles are properly seated.
Water staining on the upper.
Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain. If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for trainers (test on an inconspicuous area first).
Loss of cushioning over time.
Cushioning materials naturally compress with use. To maximize lifespan, avoid using them for high-impact activities beyond their intended design and follow care instructions to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for adults of all genders. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to clean the foam and rubber parts. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately with a damp cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
