Asics Gel-Flux 8 Running Shoes - Black - UK 7.5

These shoes are ideal for everyday running, jogging, and various types of gym workouts, offering excellent cushioning and breathability for sustained comfort.

Rearfoot GEL™ technology is strategically placed to absorb impact when your foot strikes the ground, creating a softer landing and helping to reduce stress on your joints, leading to a smoother, more comfortable stride.

Yes, Asics has incorporated sustainable practices. At least 30% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled content, and the sockliner uses a solution dyeing process that significantly reduces water usage and carbon emissions.

FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning is a lightweight foam technology that provides a soft and responsive feel underfoot. It helps to deliver a comfortable and energetic ride without adding unnecessary weight to the shoe.

To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush, then gently scrub with a cloth or soft brush dampened with mild soap and water. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

Yes, with their focus on comfort, cushioning, and durability, the Asics Gel-Flux 8 are an excellent choice for beginner runners or those looking for a reliable, everyday training shoe.

AHARPLUS™ (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is a durable compound placed in critical areas of the outsole, especially the heel, to resist wear and tear. This enhances the shoe's longevity and provides consistent traction.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, but sock material plays a significant role. Try thinner, breathable athletic socks.

Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with use. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort or responsiveness, it may be time to consider replacing your shoes, typically after 300-500 miles depending on your running style and weight.

Check your lacing technique to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you have specific pressure points. Ensure your socks are not bunched up. If new, allow for a short break-in period.

While AHARPLUS™ rubber enhances durability, wear patterns can indicate your running gait. If wear is excessive or uneven, consider consulting a running specialist for gait analysis. Ensure you are primarily using them for intended surfaces (roads, gym, not abrasive trails).

Try a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot' for added security. Ensure the laces are fully tightened from bottom to top before the final knot.
