FAQs

What makes the DIME collaboration special?

The DIME collaboration brings a unique design aesthetic, specifically the ombre gray coloration and the embossed DIME logo on the heel, distinguishing it from standard ASICS models.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the combination of GEL cushioning and supportive technologies makes them suitable for marathon distances, provided they fit well and offer adequate comfort for your individual needs.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing chart provided by ASICS and compare it with your foot measurement. This specific variant is listed as UK 13, so ensure this matches your requirements.

Can I wear these shoes for walking or casual use?

Absolutely. Their comfortable cushioning and supportive design make them well-suited for walking and everyday casual wear in addition to running.

What is the benefit of the reflective accents?

The reflective accents are designed to increase your visibility to others, especially motorists, when running in low-light conditions such as dawn, dusk, or at night.

How does the DuoMax Support System work?

The DuoMax Support System is a midsole construction that increases stability and provides support by reducing the degree to which the foot splays inward (pronation).

What is the primary material of the shoe's upper?

The upper is primarily made from breathable mesh, which helps to keep your feet cool and comfortable by allowing air to circulate.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try lacing them differently, or if the issue persists, consider a different size or model.

Reduced cushioning or support over time.

The cushioning and support will naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice significant wear and loss of performance.

Traction is poor on wet surfaces.

The high-abrasion rubber outsole offers good traction, but performance can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that might affect grip.

Upper material shows wear and tear.

Avoid excessive friction or sharp objects. If minor fraying occurs, it can often be managed with fabric glue, but significant damage may require shoe replacement.
