FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The ASICS Gel-Citrek trainers are designed for comfort and versatility, including general training and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for long-distance or competitive running, which may require specialized running shoes.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of a durable mesh material, reinforced with tear-resistant overlays and synthetic leather details.
How do I clean the synthetic leather parts?
Wipe the synthetic leather parts gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The mesh upper may not be fully waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles might saturate the material. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
What is the purpose of the GEL™ technology?
The GEL™ technology in the heel is ASICS's proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively, providing enhanced comfort and reducing impact during wear.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
These shoes are produced in Cambodia, involving stitching, assembly, and finishing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try loosening the laces to allow for more volume. Consider wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists, exchange for a larger size if possible.
Discomfort in the heel
The GEL™ technology in the heel is designed for comfort. Ensure the shoe fits properly. Breaking them in with short periods of wear can help mold them to your foot. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or debris.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive scrubbing, which can damage the material. Ensure they are fully dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS Gel-Citrek trainers require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure they are the correct size. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with various athletic and casual wear. They are not intended for specialized sports requiring specific footwear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with lukewarm water and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes 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 damage the materials.
