Product Information
Full details
The Asics GEL-FLUX 8 is a versatile neutral trainer designed for adult men who prioritize comfort and impact protection during runs or gym sessions. Its key benefit is the combination of lightweight FLYTEFOAM cushioning and rearfoot GEL technology, providing a soft, stable landing. While highly comfortable for daily training, users should note that the focus is on cushioning and general fitness rather than high-performance speed racing.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The GEL-FLUX 8 is designed as a neutral shoe. If you require significant arch support, consider using a custom orthotic insert.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, the cushioning profile is designed for comfort, making them suitable for moderate to long daily training runs.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability and airflow, so it is not water-resistant.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, Asics typically follows standard sizing; however, since feet swell during exercise, always ensure you have a little extra room in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly against the collar.
Accumulation of dirt in mesh upper
Gently dab with a damp cloth or soft sponge; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Odour buildup
Remove the insole after your workout to allow the shoe to dry faster and use baking soda sachets overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics GEL-FLUX 8, ensure a proper fit by allowing a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. When cleaning, avoid using a washing machine; instead, remove the sockliner and clean the mesh with a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the foam materials. Check the outsoles periodically for embedded debris to maintain traction.
