FAQs

What is Scutoid GEL technology?

Scutoid GEL technology is an innovative cushioning system developed by the ASICS Institute of Sport Science. It features strategically arranged GEL units within the midsole that are designed to maximize shock absorption and provide superior comfort, particularly on hard surfaces like city pavements.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic is primarily designed for urban exploration, casual wear, and street style, focusing on comfort and aesthetics for daily activities. While they offer excellent cushioning for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How do I clean the upper material of my shoes?

For the mesh and synthetic upper, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes. For tougher spots, a soft-bristled brush can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What type of closure do these shoes have?

These shoes feature a traditional lace-up closure, allowing you to adjust the fit for personalized comfort and security.

Can I wear these shoes for long periods of walking?

Yes, absolutely. The innovative midsole, especially with its Scutoid GEL technology, is specifically designed to provide enhanced shock absorption and comfort, making these shoes an excellent choice for long walks, extended standing, and urban exploration.

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

The upper of the ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and durable synthetic materials, often accented with wavy overlays to enhance its unique design.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace tension. If the issue persists, verify your foot measurements against the ASICS sizing chart to ensure you have the correct size. Different sock thicknesses can also impact fit.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check for any creased insoles or debris inside the shoe. Gradually break in the shoes with short periods of wear to allow them to adapt to your feet.

Outsole loses grip.

Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt and debris in the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly to restore traction. If worn smooth, the shoes may need to be replaced for safety.

Unpleasant odor from the shoes.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing and cleaning. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic shoes:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the material or overlays. For stubborn dirt, use a soft-bristled brush.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and tread.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry these shoes, as it can damage the materials and structural integrity.
