FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed for lifestyle and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for the specific demands of long-distance running compared to dedicated running shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide or try them on in person if possible. These trainers are available in standard UK adult sizes. Consider trying on with the type of socks you intend to wear.
What is the main benefit of the Gel technology?
The Gel technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock efficiently, providing superior cushioning and reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What does 'FF Blast Plus Eco' cushioning mean?
FF Blast Plus Eco is a lightweight and responsive foam cushioning that provides a soft feel underfoot while offering good energy return. The 'Eco' designation indicates it is made with sustainable materials.
How does the heritage design influence the shoe?
The heritage design draws inspiration from ASICS's archives, incorporating classic silhouettes and styling cues, blended with modern materials and construction for a contemporary appeal.
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing them with appropriate socks and allow a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, the specific fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Cushioning feels too firm
The FF Blast Plus Eco cushioning provides a responsive feel. It may take a few wears to break in. If still too firm, consider if this model's cushioning profile meets your specific needs.
Traction seems insufficient on wet surfaces
While designed for general use, the outsole may have reduced grip on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
