Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS UB1-S shoes last, proper maintenance is essential. Because of the glossy synthetic leather overlays, avoid using harsh abrasive brushes or heavy-duty chemical cleaners that could strip the finish. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove dust and debris. If the sneakers get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials. These shoes are standard fit; choose your regular UK size for the best comfort experience.
