FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Asics Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed for everyday wear and light to moderate workouts. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance performance are recommended.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Asics sizing chart available on their official website or consult the size guide provided by the retailer. Measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Remember that fit can also depend on the specific model.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and cushioning technology. Hand wash using mild soap and water as per the care instructions.
What is the benefit of GEL-Scutoid Technology?
GEL-Scutoid Technology is engineered to provide enhanced shock absorption, particularly in the heel area, offering a smoother transition and improved comfort during impact.
What does FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning mean?
FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO is a lightweight and responsive foam cushioning that provides a soft feel underfoot. The 'ECO' designation indicates that it is partially made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and reliable traction, suitable for regular wear on various surfaces. However, its lifespan will depend on usage frequency, intensity, and the surfaces on which the shoes are worn.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Please check the specific warranty details provided by the seller at the time of purchase or consult the official Asics website for general warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If they are slightly tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher. Break-in periods can vary; wear them for short durations initially.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole with water and a brush. If the wear is significant, replacement may be necessary.
Discoloration on the upper material
Avoid exposing the shoes to prolonged direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone easily
Ensure laces are properly threaded through the eyelets. Consider using a different lacing technique or replacing the laces with a type that offers better grip.
