FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ Technology in these trainers?

The GEL™ Technology pods are strategically placed to provide superior impact absorption, reducing shock to your joints during movement and enhancing overall comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

The GEL-Kinetic 2.0 is designed for everyday comfort and general training. For marathon running, it is recommended to use specialized running shoes that offer more specific features for long-distance performance.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches corresponding to UK shoe sizes. Ensure your heel is to the back of the shoe and measure from there.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect comfort and material longevity.

What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC™ Cage?

The TPU TRUSSTIC™ Cage is integrated into the midsole to provide midfoot structural integrity and torsional stability, helping to control pronation and improve efficiency during the gait cycle.

How often should I clean my GEL-Kinetic 2.0 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after activities that cause significant dirt accumulation. Regular light cleaning helps maintain their appearance and material integrity.

What does 'FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO Cushioning' mean?

FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO is a lightweight, responsive foam cushioning that provides excellent shock absorption and energy return, with an emphasis on using more sustainable materials.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe. If persistent, check for any trapped debris in the sole.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check sock fit to avoid friction points.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning materials will naturally compress with use. For prolonged performance, consider rotating with another pair of shoes or replacing them after significant wear.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:
