FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ Technology Cushioning?

The GEL™ Technology Cushioning is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing superior comfort and reducing impact on joints during wear.

How does the TRUSSTIC™ system contribute to the shoe's performance?

The TRUSSTIC™ system provides structural integrity to the midfoot, enhancing stability and helping to guide the foot through a more natural motion.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic material and leather overlays, offering a balance of breathability and durability.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running or athletic training?

While they offer good cushioning and support for light activities, they are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and retro style. For specialized sports, dedicated performance footwear might be more appropriate.

How should I clean the leather overlays?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the leather. For tougher marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.

What year is this shoe inspired by?

This model reimagines a classic from 2008.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While this specific listing is for men's sizing, ASICS often offers similar models in women's sizing and variations. Please check for specific product availability.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning over time

While the GEL™ technology is durable, prolonged heavy use can reduce its effectiveness. Consider replacing the insoles or the shoes if cushioning is significantly diminished.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Ensure the shoes are dry. If it persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; simply ensure they are the correct size and wear them.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are suitable for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. They are not intended for highly specialized sports requiring advanced technical features.

Care:
