FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gel-Kinetic Fluent is designed as a versatile trainer, offering excellent comfort for daily activity and light exercise, though it is optimized primarily for support and lifestyle performance.
How do I determine the correct size?
ASICS sizing is generally consistent, but it is recommended to allow for a small thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the provided insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own specialized orthotics if required for additional arch support.
How should I clean the gold accents?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the gold detailing to prevent scratching or fading the metallic finish.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials, so it is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The advanced cushioning often requires a short break-in period. Try wearing the shoes for shorter durations over the first week to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Foot slippage or heel lift
Ensure the laces are tensioned properly starting from the bottom eyelets, or consider using the final eyelet to create a runner's lock to improve heel security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines. Upon receipt, ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot without being constricting. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can compromise the cushioning materials. Clean the exterior by wiping with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid soaking the shoes or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized internal support structures and adhesive bonds. Check the outsoles periodically for debris that may accumulate in the tread patterns to maintain optimal traction.
