FAQs
How do I measure my foot for the correct size?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Re-measure your foot length carefully. If between sizes, try the next size up as recommended. Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you would typically use with these trainers when measuring.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the outsole treads with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the lacing is adjusted properly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter periods of wear before extended use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. No setup is required beyond selecting the correct size.
Sizing: To ensure the best fit, ASICS recommends measuring your foot length from the heel to the longest toe. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it is often advisable to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially as the description notes "When your foot length is between two sizes".
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard sock wear.
Care: To maintain the trainers:
- Brush off loose dirt with a dry brush.
- For stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the affected area.
- Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.
- Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
