How do I find the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. The product information lists the size as UK 9.5 for this specific variant.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What does 'segmented midsole structure' mean?
It refers to the midsole being divided into sections, which contributes to an industrial aesthetic while enhancing cushioning and flexibility.

Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust lacing to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe or with the floor surface. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists and is bothersome, consult the retailer.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL technology and midsole are designed for durability, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prolong their performance.
