FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, their design is specialized for trail performance. For daily casual wear, other ASICS models might be more suitable due to the aggressive tread and rugged construction.

How do I know if I have the right size?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and other components of the shoe.

What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX technology?

GORE-TEX provides a waterproof barrier that prevents external moisture from entering the shoe while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is designed for superior traction on rough terrain and is made from durable rubber compounds to withstand abrasion from rocks and trails.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Please refer to the official ASICS warranty information for specific details, as warranty periods can vary by region and retailer.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet inside the shoe despite being waterproof.

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not punctured. Check that laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Excessive sweat can also lead to a damp feeling; ensure adequate ventilation when possible.

Traction is poor on certain surfaces.

Clean the outsole lugs of mud or debris. The specialized traction is optimized for rugged terrain; very smooth or icy surfaces may naturally offer less grip.

Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear.

This is common with new trail shoes. Wear them for shorter walks to break them in. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot's shape. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks.

Slight odor developing after use.

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Using anti-odor sprays or powders designed for footwear can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Ideal for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor activities in varied weather conditions. They are designed for men's adult foot sizes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
