ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent - Black - UK 5

While inspired by ASICS' running shoe archives and featuring advanced cushioning, the Gel-Kinetic Fluent is primarily designed for everyday comfort, walking, and light athletic activities rather than high-performance or competitive running.

ASICS generally runs true to size. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure the most comfortable fit.

FF Blast Plus Eco is ASICS' lightweight and energetic cushioning foam that provides superior impact absorption, high responsiveness, and is made with a portion of bio-based materials, contributing to a more sustainable design.

ASICS' signature Gel technology is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing for smoother transition and enhanced comfort. It helps reduce stress on the feet and joints.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.

The Gel-Kinetic Fluent is designed with a standard fit. If you typically require a wider shoe, it's advisable to try them on or consult ASICS' specific sizing guide for width to ensure adequate comfort.

The upper features a blend of contemporary materials combined with technical welding, providing both durability and a textured aesthetic. Info needed: Specific material composition (e.g., mesh, synthetic leather) is not detailed, but it's designed for comfort and style.

Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing patterns to optimize fit. Consider using thinner or thicker socks, or trying a different insole if tightness/looseness persists.

Remove insoles after each wear to allow them and the shoes to air dry completely. Use shoe deodorizers or place dryer sheets inside the shoes overnight. Consider washing insoles by hand with mild soap.

Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing and reinserting it, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction.

For light dirt, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner or material-appropriate cleaning product may be required. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
