Full details
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Lyte II Trainers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and cushioned footwear for everyday activities. Their key benefit lies in the GEL technology for enhanced shock absorption, offering a softer feel with each step.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Lyte II Trainers are best suited for casual wear and light training. For marathon running, we recommend trainers specifically designed for long-distance running, offering advanced support and cushioning.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should be snug, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle freely. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. This can damage the GEL technology, the knitted upper, and the overall structure of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing superior cushioning and a softer feel during impact, reducing stress on your feet and joints.
How durable is the knitted upper?
The knitted upper offers comfort and flexibility. While durable for everyday use, it may be more susceptible to wear and tear from abrasive surfaces or activities that put significant stress on the shoe's material compared to more robust synthetic uppers.
What kind of activities are these trainers NOT recommended for?
These trainers are not recommended for high-impact sports, trail running, or activities requiring significant lateral support and stability, such as basketball or tennis.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Lyte II series is available in various colors. Please check the product listings for available color options, as this guide focuses on the Black/Carbon variant.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure the knitted upper is not bunched. Wear with thinner socks if necessary. The knit may also stretch slightly with wear.
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure the correct size has been purchased.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction; performance on very wet or slippery surfaces may be limited. Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris that could be affecting grip.
Visible wear on the knitted upper
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. For minor fraying, trim loose threads carefully with small scissors. Address significant damage by considering replacement.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the knitted upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
