Asics GEL-Kinetic Fluent Sneakers Black / Graphite Grey - Size 8.5

While inspired by running shoe design, the GEL-Kinetic Fluent Sneakers are optimized for comfort and impact absorption during everyday wear and light activities. They are not designed for high-intensity running.

The Scutoid GEL® technology is strategically integrated to enhance shock absorption, providing advanced comfort and reducing impact on your feet during movement.

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently wipe the leather. Avoid soaking the leather and ensure it is dried naturally away from heat.

Yes, you can wear them with various types of socks, including athletic socks. For a snugger fit, consider thinner socks, especially during the initial break-in period.

The primary cushioning technology is FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning, which provides a lightweight and responsive feel.

These trainers are not waterproof. They feature a mesh upper which offers breathability but minimal water resistance.

The mesh provides breathability and flexibility, while the leather overlays offer structure, durability, and a premium aesthetic.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider a break-in period or exploring alternative sizes if available.

Verify that the laces are not tied too tightly. Ensure the insoles are properly positioned. The cushioning may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the insole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both the insole and the shoe interior are dry, and then reinserting the insole.

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth. If the outsole is significantly worn, replacement might be considered.
