Full details
The ASICS Gel Quantum Lyte II sneaker is designed for adults seeking a blend of performance technology and contemporary street style. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort and flexibility, achieved through an evolved upper that reduces traditional overlays and incorporates GEL technology in the heel for superior impact absorption.

FAQs
Are these suitable for running marathons?
While the GEL-Quantum Lyte II offers good cushioning, it's primarily designed for street style and everyday comfort. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes with more advanced support and energy return features.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide for accurate measurements. The UK size is provided, but measuring your foot length in centimeters or inches and comparing it to the chart is the most reliable method.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel Quantum Lyte II sneakers. Hand washing with a mild soap and water is the preferred method to preserve the shoe's materials and structure.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the heel is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing enhanced comfort and reducing impact on joints during walking and standing.
How does the upper design improve flexibility?
The evolved upper design reduces the need for traditional overlays. This construction allows for more natural foot movement and increases the overall flexibility of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to check for specific wide-fit options or try them on in person if possible.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear
The sneakers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If the tightness persists, ensure you have the correct size. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use
The GEL cushioning may naturally compress over time. Ensure the shoe is clean and free of debris. For significantly reduced cushioning, replacement might be considered after extensive wear.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole provides traction on most surfaces, but performance on extremely wet or slippery conditions may be limited. Exercise caution and consider alternative footwear for such environments.
