FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The Asics Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers offer good cushioning for general training and daily activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning features tailored for long-distance endurance may be more appropriate.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The primary benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers is exceptional shock absorption. It effectively minimizes impact forces transmitted to your feet and joints, enhancing comfort during activities like walking and running.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structure of the trainers. It is best to clean them using a damp cloth and mild cleaning methods as outlined in the care instructions.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the Asics Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers is made from 100% polyurethane, designed to be breathable for optimal comfort.

How do I determine the right size?

The product specifies a UK adult size 11. It is recommended to consult Asics' official sizing chart for precise measurements or try them on in person if possible, as fit can vary between models.

What is the heel type?

These trainers feature a flat heel, providing a stable base for various activities.

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

While comfortable for walking, these trainers are primarily designed for training and daily wear. For hiking, especially on uneven or rugged terrain, dedicated hiking boots or trail shoes offering more ankle support and aggressive traction would be more suitable.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

GEL cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not used for highly specialized sports that exceed their intended design. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance.

Slipping on certain surfaces

The rubber sole provides traction, but performance can vary on wet or unusually slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris that could affect grip.
