Asics Gel-Flux 8 - Black - UK 4

These shoes are ideal for daily running, treadmill workouts, gym sessions, and general casual wear, offering comfort and support for a variety of activities.

The GEL-FLUX 8 features an upper made with at least 30% recycled content, and its sockliner uses a solution dyeing process that significantly reduces water consumption and carbon emissions.

Comfort comes from the combination of FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning for a lightweight feel and Rearfoot GEL™ technology, which provides excellent impact absorption and a softer footstrike.

Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Always air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat.

AHARPLUS™ is a highly durable rubber compound strategically placed in the heel area of the outsole to improve the shoe's longevity and resistance to wear.

The ASICS GEL-FLUX 8 generally offers balanced cushioning and support, making it suitable for individuals with a neutral gait. For specific pronation needs, it's always best to consult a footwear specialist.

Ensure the shoes are correctly sized. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Wear appropriate running socks designed to reduce friction. If discomfort persists, consult a specialist for a gait analysis.

The cushioning might be reaching the end of its effective lifespan. Running shoes typically last 300-500 miles. Consider if it's time for a new pair. Ensure they are kept clean and dry after use.

Remove insoles after each use to allow them to air out. You can sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage. Washing laces regularly can also help.

While AHARPLUS™ is durable, aggressive heel striking can accelerate wear. Review your running form. Ensure you are rotating shoes if you run frequently, as this allows materials to recover. Consider if your mileage exceeds the typical lifespan for running shoe outsoles.

Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Clean the engineered mesh upper regularly to prevent dirt buildup that can block airflow. Avoid wearing shoes that are too tight, which can also restrict ventilation.
