FAQs

Is this sneaker suitable for professional running?

While it retains the Gel-Kayano technical DNA, it is designed as a lifestyle and gym hybrid. For long-distance professional running, we recommend a dedicated performance runner.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather, providing a distinct look and added durability.

Does this shoe provide arch support?

Yes, the Gel-Kayano series is renowned for its integrated arch support and stability features.

Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?

Yes, the UK 8 sizing aligns with standard ASICS sizing charts.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to maintain the appearance of the leather material.

Troubleshooting

Leather material appears dry or scuffed

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and buff away minor scuffs.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

Ensure the shoe is not being stored in extreme heat, which can compress the Gel units, and replace the factory insoles if they have lost structural support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sneakers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to naturally contour to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For deep cleaning, utilize a leather-specific cleaner; avoid submerging these shoes in water.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
  4. Compatibility: The UK 8 sizing follows standard ASICS fitment. If you are transitioning from other ASICS models, the sizing remains consistent with the standard Gel-Kayano series.
