Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel Lyte 3 trainers are designed for adult males seeking a stylish and comfortable footwear option for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the iconic split-tongue design and GEL cushioning for superior comfort and a unique fit. A potential caveat is that due to their fashion-oriented nature, they may require more specific care than standard athletic shoes.

FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel Lyte 3 good for running?
While the Gel Lyte 3 features GEL cushioning, it is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I clean the split-tongue?
The split-tongue can be cleaned similarly to the rest of the upper. Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Ensure it dries completely.
What makes the split-tongue design unique?
The split-tongue is designed to wrap around the ankle more securely than a traditional single-piece tongue, offering a more personalized fit and reducing slippage.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the ASICS Gel Lyte 3 are designed to be worn with socks. The split-tongue aims to provide comfort even with socks on.
What is the main color of this specific model?
The main color of this ASICS Gel Lyte 3 (model 1201A050-022) is Feather Grey.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper of this ASICS Gel Lyte 3 model is primarily made of leather.
How should I store my Gel Lyte 3 trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Tongue feels uncomfortable or shifts.
Ensure the split-tongue is properly aligned in the center before lacing. Tighten laces to secure the tongue in place, adjusting for a snug fit.
Leather shows signs of scuffing or marks.
Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. For minor scuffs, a soft eraser designed for suede or nubuck might help, followed by gentle brushing.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.
While the GEL cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prolong its lifespan. If comfort is significantly reduced, consider replacing the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: As footwear, the ASICS Gel Lyte 3 requires no setup. Simply put them on.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult male foot sizes (UK 7.5 - UK 12 available). They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire.
Care:
- Cleaning: To maintain the appearance of the leather and suede upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
