FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-KINETIC Fluent is designed primarily for casual wear and all-day comfort, not for high-performance running. While it features running-inspired cushioning, for dedicated running, ASICS offers more specialized models.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend referring to the ASICS sizing guide. This specific model is a UK size 9. If you are unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's size chart. Consider trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What is FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning?
FF BLAST PLUS ECO is a lightweight and responsive cushioning technology made with bio-based content. It provides a soft yet energetic feel underfoot, contributing to overall comfort and impact absorption.
What is GEL Technology?
ASICS GEL Technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole (in this case, scutoid GEL) to absorb shock during impact, offering enhanced comfort and protection for your feet.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, we recommend waterproof footwear. Always allow them to air dry if they get wet.
How often should I clean my GEL-KINETIC Fluent sneakers?
The frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down of the upper and sole every week or two will help maintain their appearance. A deeper clean can be done monthly or as needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the laces for a looser fit. Wear thinner socks initially. The synthetic upper may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath, then reinserting. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Foot odor develops.
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or shoe deodorizers. Wear moisture-wicking socks to help keep feet dry.
Sole is losing traction prematurely.
Regularly clean the rubber sole to remove embedded dirt and debris, which can reduce grip. If the tread pattern is significantly worn, the sole may need professional repair or replacement.
Upper material appears creased or scuffed.
For minor scuffs on the synthetic upper, a soft, damp cloth can often help. To prevent excessive creasing, store shoes with shoe trees or crumpled paper when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-KINETIC Fluent sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic upper, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and soapy water to remove mud and debris.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials.
