FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While they offer good cushioning, the ASICS US7-S GEL-Kinetic Fluent trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, dedicated ASICS running shoes with specialized performance features are recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing guide. These are unisex trainers, so sizing is generally consistent.

What is the main benefit of the Scutoid GEL cushioning?

The Scutoid GEL cushioning system is designed with a unique shape to absorb shock more effectively, providing enhanced softness and stability during wear.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and cushioning.

What does FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO mean?

FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO is a lightweight, responsive cushioning technology developed by ASICS that uses recycled materials. It enhances comfort and performance while supporting a sustainable approach.

How does the Kiko Kostadinov Studio influence the design?

The Kiko Kostadinov Studio's influence brings a modern, fashion-forward perspective to ASICS' heritage running shoe designs, resulting in unique layered textures and contemporary silhouettes.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are made with textile and synthetic materials, offering some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the laces using the lace fastening system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Reduced cushioning effect over time.

While cushioning technology is durable, natural wear and tear can occur. Consider replacing the shoes if the cushioning is significantly degraded after extensive use.

Material scuffing or damage.

Avoid abrasive surfaces. If minor scuffs occur on synthetic overlays, they may be gently buffed with a soft cloth. For significant damage, professional repair may be considered, or replacement may be necessary.
