FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent draws inspiration from archived running shoes and incorporates advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed for casual wear and all-day comfort, not for performance running or intense athletic training.

How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent sneakers?

Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. For the rubber sole, use a soft brush to remove dirt. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.

What is FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning?

FF BLAST PLUS ECO is a lightweight and energetic cushioning foam that provides enhanced impact absorption and a softer underfoot feel. It is also partially made with bio-based materials, contributing to its 'ECO' designation.

What does Scutoid GEL technology do?

Scutoid GEL technology is strategically integrated into the sole to offer advanced shock absorption. It helps to reduce the impact on your feet and joints, providing a more comfortable and cushioned stride.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent sneakers generally fit true to standard ASICS sizing. For the best fit, we recommend consulting the official ASICS size chart or trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions to help maintain their condition and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size; ASICS often runs true to size. Try loosening the laces, especially in the forefoot area. Allow for a short break-in period, as new shoes sometimes need a few wears to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size up.

Squeaking sound when walking.

A squeak can sometimes occur with new soles as they settle, or if there's moisture or debris trapped between the sole and the ground. Check the treads for any lodged small stones or dirt. If the squeak is persistent and internal, it may diminish with wear. If not, Info needed: [Contact ASICS customer support for further assistance].

Stains or dirt on the synthetic upper.

For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected area and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Air dry thoroughly. Avoid machine washing.

Setup

Your ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent sneakers require minimal setup. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred tightness, and you're ready to go. Ensure the laces are securely tied to prevent tripping and provide optimal support.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper gently with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water). Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole and treads.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as these can cause materials to warp or crack.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.
  • Odour Control: If desired, remove insoles occasionally to air out and use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb moisture and odors.
