FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While incorporating running technology, the ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT is primarily designed for comfortable daily wear, light walking, and casual activities. For serious or performance running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe lines.

How do I know my correct size?

We recommend referring to the ASICS official size guide, typically available on their website, and measuring your foot length. It's often best to try shoes on to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structural integrity of the shoe. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the "Care" section.

What is FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning?

FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning is a lightweight and responsive foam technology used in the midsole, designed to provide an energetic rebound sensation with each step. The "ECO" designation indicates its composition includes recycled content.

What does TRUSSTIC support system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology integrated into the midfoot of the shoe. Its purpose is to enhance stability and provide structural integrity, preventing unwanted twisting or excessive movement during your stride.

Are the materials waterproof?

The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. The mesh elements suggest breathability, which typically means they are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions if you wish to keep your feet dry.

How much recycled content is in the shoes?

The description states the synthetic leather is "made with recycled content." The exact percentage of recycled materials is not specified in the provided product information.

What is the purpose of scutoid GEL technology?

Scutoid GEL technology is strategically placed within the shoe to provide advanced comfort and enhance shock absorption, particularly in high-impact areas, helping to reduce the stress on your feet and joints.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Double-check the sizing. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try re-lacing the shoes, adjusting the tension, particularly around the instep. Allow for a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot.

Squeaking noise when walking.

Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, a loose insole can cause squeaking. Remove and re-insert it. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of baby powder under the insole.

Foot odor.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out between wears. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or shoe deodorizers. Regularly clean the inside of the shoes and wear moisture-wicking socks.

Upper material appears dirty or stained.

Refer to the "Care" section for instructions on cleaning synthetic leather and mesh materials. Promptly cleaning stains can prevent them from setting.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Cushioning materials naturally compress with extended use. While regular wear is expected, ensure proper care and storage. If the shoes are significantly old or heavily used, their cushioning properties may diminish.

Care

Proper care can extend the life and maintain the appearance of your shoes:

  • Cleaning the Upper:
  • Gently brush off loose dirt using a soft brush.
  • Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with warm water.
  • Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the synthetic leather and mesh areas. Avoid saturating the material.
  • Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
  • Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole:
  • Use a brush or old toothbrush with soapy water to clean the rubber outsole and the sides of the midsole.
  • Rinse with a damp cloth.
  • Drying:
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
  • Do not place them in direct sunlight or use a heat source (like a hairdryer or radiator), as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
  • You can stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  • Storage:
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
