FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of hiking?

The ASICS Gel-Venture 11 Hiking Shoes are best suited for moderate trails and light trekking. For very rugged, technical, or extremely wet conditions, specialized footwear might offer better performance and protection.

How do I clean the polyurethane uppers?

Wipe the polyurethane uppers with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Always avoid harsh chemicals and allow the shoes to air dry.

What is the benefit of GEL cushioning?

The GEL cushioning system is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing superior comfort and reducing stress on your feet and joints during hiking.

How long does it typically take to break in these shoes?

The break-in period can vary, but generally, wearing them for short durations over a week or two should suffice for them to adapt to your foot shape and stride.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

These shoes offer some protection against light moisture due to their materials. However, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, waterproof hiking boots are recommended.

What are the main materials used in these shoes?

The uppers are made of 100% polyurethane, the lining is 100% textile, the cushioning is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.

How should I store my hiking shoes when not in use?

Store your ASICS Gel-Venture 11 Hiking Shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and fully dry before storage to prevent damage or odor.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable after first wear

Hiking shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods indoors or on gentle walks to allow them to conform to your feet. Ensure laces are tied correctly for optimal support.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, extreme wetness or polished surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the sole is clean. For very slippery conditions, consider alternative footwear or approach with caution.

Feet feel hot or sweaty

The breathable design helps, but intense activity can still lead to sweating. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. After use, remove insoles if possible to allow for better drying.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace worn laces with a durable pair suitable for hiking boots. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to prevent unnecessary stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear hiking shoes; no specific setup is required. Ensure the laces are comfortably tied for a secure fit before each use.

Compatibility: Suitable for men's UK size 6.5 feet. Designed for hiking and general outdoor activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Wipe the polyurethane uppers with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning Lining and Cushioning: The textile lining and cushioning can be cleaned with a soft brush and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
  3. Cleaning Sole: Remove loose dirt from the rubber outsole with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use water and a mild soap.
  4. Drying: Always air dry shoes after cleaning or getting them wet. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the materials.
