FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is made from leather, which offers some natural water resistance, but it is not marketed as a fully waterproof shoe.
Can I use these for intense mountain trekking?
While they feature robust grip and cushioning, they are better suited for light hiking, walking, and casual use rather than technical high-altitude mountaineering.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing. It is recommended to wear the type of socks you plan to hike in when trying them on.
What is the primary material?
The primary material is leather, which provides durability and a classic, structured look.
How often should I condition the leather?
Depending on usage frequency, conditioning the leather once every few months or whenever it looks dry will help preserve its flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs after hiking
Gently buff the scuffed area with a leather-safe cream or conditioner to restore the finish.
Wet leather after a hike
Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GEL-TRANSCEND FJ, proper care is essential given the leather upper. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt after every outdoor outing. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking or drying out. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the leather. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insoles are generally removable, providing flexibility for specific fit adjustments.
