FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

While inspired by trail shoes, the ASICS Gel-Nunobiki are primarily designed for urban lifestyle and casual wear. They are not recommended for technical hiking or demanding trail conditions that require specialized grip and support.

What is the main inspiration behind the Gel-Nunobiki design?

The design is inspired by early 2000s trail shoes and the natural, rugged textures found in the Nunobiki area of Kobe, Japan, which is known for its waterfalls.

How should I clean the synthetic layers of the shoe?

You can clean the synthetic layers using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Nunobiki trainers are designed for adults and can be considered unisex, suitable for both men and women depending on sizing.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Information regarding specific warranty periods is typically found on the retailer's or ASICS' official website at the time of purchase. Standard manufacturing defects are usually covered.

Do these shoes offer advanced cushioning like GEL technology?

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try ensuring the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, but use sparingly.

Dirt or scuff marks on synthetic upper

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on synthetic surfaces.

Laces wear out or break

Replace laces with standard athletic shoelaces of a similar length and thickness. You can find replacements at most shoe or sporting goods stores.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gel-Nunobiki trainers:
