ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent Trainers - Black - UK 8

The ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized for high-impact running or intense athletic training.

FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning provides a lightweight and responsive feel, contributing to a more energetic and comfortable stride for daily activities.

Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and lukewarm water solution. Gently clean the area and allow the shoes to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.

The trainers offer some protection, but the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain, specialized waterproof footwear is recommended.

With proper care and for intended casual use, the trainers should last a considerable time. Lifespan varies based on usage frequency, intensity, and maintenance. For example, daily wear for commuting might see them last 1-2 years, while occasional use could extend this.

This specific guide is for the Black variant (UK 8). Other colorways and sizes may be available through ASICS retailers, as indicated by the variant information.

The trainers provide general support suitable for everyday wear. For specific or severe arch support needs, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for your foot type.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try lacing them slightly looser, particularly around the midfoot, and see if they break in with wear. If persistent, consider if the size is correct or if the width is suitable for your foot.

This can sometimes occur as the shoe breaks in. Try wearing thicker socks or using heel grips. Ensure the padded collar is sitting correctly around your ankle.

The rubber sole provides good grip on most dry surfaces. For significantly wet or slick conditions, exercise caution as with any footwear. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris that could affect grip.

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a clean cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
