Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nunobiki is designed for fashion-conscious adults who require a versatile trainer that bridges the gap between rugged trail aesthetics and everyday urban comfort. Its primary benefit is the combination of signature GEL impact absorption technology and a durable, multi-surface outsole, making it ideal for walking and light outdoor use. One caveat to consider is that while the leather and mesh construction is premium, the chunky design may feel heavier compared to specialized performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Gel-Nunobiki features breathable mesh panels, so they are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or puddles.
Can I use these for running?
While they provide excellent cushioning, they are designed primarily as trainers for walking and casual use, not for high-intensity running.
How do I determine the right size?
The Gel-Nunobiki follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind that the padded lining provides a snug, secure fit.
What is the primary material used?
The trainers feature a premium construction consisting of leather overlays combined with breathable mesh panels.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The layered design provides a supportive structure, but users with wider feet may find the standard fit quite snug due to the chunky profile.
How do I maintain the grip on the outsole?
Regularly brush off mud and small rocks from the tread patterns to maintain the shoe's intended traction capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh panels
Use a soft-bristled brush and a very small amount of mild soap mixed with water to gently scrub the mesh, then wipe with a clean damp cloth.
Laces coming loose
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly through the eyelets to maintain a secure fit across the bridge of the foot.
Creasing on the leather
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize permanent creasing in the leather upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Nunobiki trainers last, proper care is essential. Given the leather and mesh composition, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather areas with a soft, damp cloth. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the mesh panels and the textured outsole.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the leather and cushion materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Fit: These trainers are designed for standard adult foot shapes; ensure your laces are adjusted evenly across the layered upper to maintain proper support.
