Asics Gel-Kinetic Fluent Trainers - Black Graphite Grey - UK 4.5

The Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed for everyday use and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and performance required for marathon running compared to dedicated racing shoes.

Scutoid GEL cushioning is engineered to provide enhanced shock absorption, leading to a more comfortable and smoother ride by reducing impact on your feet and joints.

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should feel snug but not constricting.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.

The Trusstic support system is located in the midfoot and helps to provide stability by preventing excessive twisting of the foot, contributing to a more controlled movement.

The upper is constructed using a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays, offering a balance of ventilation and durability.

It is generally recommended to replace running or training shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear or a reduction in cushioning and support, typically every 6-12 months depending on usage.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.

The midsole technologies may naturally break down with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if comfort and support are significantly diminished.

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure you are wearing them on appropriate surfaces for which they are designed.

This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
