FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While these trainers provide excellent support and comfort for daily activities and walking, they are best suited for casual use rather than long-distance high-intensity running.
How do I choose the correct UK size?
Measure your foot from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe and compare this measurement against a standard UK footwear size guide for the most accurate fit.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods with a damp cloth.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather upper offers more protection than mesh alternatives, but they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant spray for better moisture resistance.
What does the Gel technology do?
ASICS Gel technology is designed to absorb shock during the impact phase, helping to reduce stress on your joints and improve overall comfort.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too tight across the midfoot
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly and consider a thinner sock to allow the leather to stretch and break in naturally.
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a soft brush to remove debris, then apply a matching leather cream or polish to blend the scuff into the original colorway.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers perform as intended, start by verifying your UK size using a measuring tape from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. Once your fit is confirmed, break the shoes in gradually over a few short walks to allow the leather to contour to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
- Maintenance: Use a leather-safe conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources which can damage the leather and the cushioning materials.
