FAQs
What does 'Gel-Quantum KEI' signify?
The 'Gel-Quantum' series from ASICS is known for its advanced Gel cushioning technology, designed to provide superior shock absorption and comfort. 'KEI' likely refers to a specific design or model within this series, emphasizing its blend of performance and style.
Are these sneakers suitable for serious running?
The Gel-Quantum KEI is performance-oriented and offers comfort and support for light athletic activities and daily wear. For serious or long-distance running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes designed for those specific demands. These are more geared towards versatile, everyday comfort with athletic styling.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS official sizing chart, which is often available on their website or retailer product pages. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart, keeping in mind the UK size 12 of this specific variant.
Can I machine wash my ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI sneakers?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended for ASICS sneakers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water is the safest method.
How often should I clean my sneakers?
Clean them as needed, especially after heavy use or if they get visibly dirty. Regular light cleaning helps maintain their appearance and extends their lifespan.
What is the primary benefit of ASICS Gel technology?
The primary benefit of ASICS Gel technology is its ability to attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allow movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. This results in enhanced comfort, reduced strain on joints, and improved overall ride.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Verify your foot size against ASICS' sizing chart. Adjust lacing tightness to achieve a custom fit. Remember new shoes might need a short break-in period.
Unpleasant odor develops in shoes
Ensure shoes are aired out after each use. Remove insoles periodically to allow them to dry. Use odor-absorbing inserts or a light sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Minor scuffs or dirt marks appear
For light dirt, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the area. For deeper scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner might be necessary.
Soles show uneven wear
While normal wear is expected, significant uneven wear could indicate a need for orthotic support or a change in gait. Consult a podiatrist if discomfort arises.

Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI sneakers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt using a soft brush. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, gently wiping the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use sneaker deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
