Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Nunobiki Trainers are designed for adults seeking comfortable and stylish footwear for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the blend of lightweight cushioning and a modern, chunky sole design, offering both comfort and a contemporary look. A potential caveat is that the low-profile design might not offer the robust support required for intense athletic activities. These trainers feature a pull tab for easy on-and-off, a secure lace-up system, padded tongue and cuff for enhanced comfort, and signature Asics branding. The integrated Rearfoot GEL technology provides effective shock absorption, while the durable sole ensures reliable traction.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Asics Gel-Nunobiki Trainers are designed primarily for comfort and style in everyday wear and light activities. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and responsiveness required for dedicated running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the Asics size chart. Trying the shoes on, preferably at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen, can also help ensure a proper fit. The lace-up system allows for some adjustment.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Asics Gel-Nunobiki Trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GEL cushioning system. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning.
What is the main benefit of the Rearfoot GEL technology?
The Rearfoot GEL technology is specifically designed to absorb shock during the heel-strike phase of walking or standing, providing enhanced cushioning and reducing impact on your joints for greater comfort.
How do I clean the chunky sole?
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap to clean the sole. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow the sole to air dry completely.
Is this shoe good for people with wide feet?
The standard width is offered. If you have particularly wide feet, it is advisable to check if wider options are available or to try them on to ensure comfort, as the lacing system offers some adjustability but cannot fundamentally change the shoe's width.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try removing the insole and checking for debris or moisture underneath. Ensure laces are not overtightened. If the noise persists, it might be due to the sole's construction interacting with the ground surface.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. Check that the laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support features align with your foot type.
Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces
While the textured sole provides grip, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the sole is clean from any mud or debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider footwear with deeper tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no assembly. Simply unbox them and adjust the laces to achieve your preferred fit. The pull tab at the heel is designed for immediate use.
Compatibility:
The Asics Gel-Nunobiki Trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with most casual and athletic-inspired attire. They are best suited for walking, everyday use, and light training activities. They are not specifically designed for specialized sports requiring advanced support or specific biomechanical features.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shape and materials.
- Laces: If laces become soiled, they can often be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water, then air-dried.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
