How should I clean my ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI sneakers?
Wipe them gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking them or using a washing machine, and always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or intense sports?
While they offer excellent cushioning for light activities, these sneakers are not specifically designed for high-performance running or intense sports that require specialized support and features. For dedicated running, ASICS offers other specialized models.

This specific variant of the ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI Sneaker is designed for adult males.
What size is this specific pair of sneakers?
This particular pair is a UK size 10.5.
Can I use custom orthotics with these sneakers?
Yes, typically the factory insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics for personalized comfort and support, if needed. Ensure the orthotics fit properly within the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Ensure you have the correct size (this pair is UK 10.5). Re-adjust laces for a more customized fit. Consider wearing them for a short break-in period to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, check if socks are too thick/thin.
Squeaking sound while walking.
Often caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's sole. Remove the insole, clean and dry both surfaces thoroughly. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Shoes appear dirty or stained.
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals to prevent damage to the materials.
Odor develops inside the sneakers.
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Sole appears to be wearing out quickly.
This can happen with extensive use or on abrasive surfaces. Ensure you are using the sneakers for their intended purpose (casual/light activity). Regular cleaning can help identify wear early, but significant wear may indicate it's time for replacement.
