FAQs
What is the main technology used in the midsole?
The midsole features ASICS' DuoMax Support System for stability and IGS technology for smooth transitions, along with GEL cushioning in the heel for shock absorption.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning and support for daily runs and training, they are best suited for distances up to half-marathon. For full marathons, consider ASICS models specifically designed for long-distance racing.
How do I clean the reflective accents?
Clean the reflective accents gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the reflective coating.
What is the significance of the "DIME" branding?
The "DIME" branding signifies a collaboration between the Canadian skateboarding brand DIME and ASICS. The "DIME" logo is subtly embossed on the heel's lateral side.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from breathable mesh, which allows for good ventilation to keep your feet cool.
When were these sneakers first released?
These sneakers were first released on July 22, 2023.
Can these shoes be worn for cross-training?
Yes, the supportive and stable design makes them suitable for general cross-training activities, though they are primarily engineered for running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks or allow for a break-in period by wearing them for shorter durations initially.
Slight squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try wearing them for a bit longer, or ensure insoles are properly seated.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning may naturally compress with significant use. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes to extend their lifespan.
Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
