Ensure you are using the correct sizing guide for ASICS UK men's footwear. Consider trying on the shoes with the type of socks you typically wear. Different models can have slight variations.

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are tied appropriately for a secure but not overly tight fit.

Minor creasing is natural with wear. For scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser, depending on the material. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

The GEL® cushioning is designed for longevity but may feel less responsive after extensive use. Gentle cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance. For significant degradation, consider replacement.
