FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Gel-kinetic Fluent?

The primary benefit is the combination of advanced cushioning technologies (FF BLAST PLUS ECO and Scutoid GEL) providing superior impact absorption and comfort for daily wear.

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While they offer good cushioning, the Gel-kinetic Fluent is primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized ASICS running shoes with targeted support and performance features are recommended.

How do I clean the trainers?

Clean the exterior with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or placing them in a washing machine or dryer.

What does 'heritage-inspired' mean in the product description?

It means the shoe's design takes cues from older, classic ASICS running shoe models, incorporating elements like technical welding and specific eyelet designs from those archives, but updated with modern materials and technologies.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-kinetic Fluent is designed as a unisex trainer, available in a range of sizes to accommodate different users.

What is the purpose of the Scutoid GEL technology?

Scutoid GEL technology is strategically placed within the midsole to improve impact absorption, particularly during the heel-strike phase of walking or standing, contributing to enhanced comfort.

How does the FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning differ from standard foam?

FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning is designed to be lightweight, soft, and responsive, offering a more energetic and comfortable feel compared to traditional EVA foams. The 'ECO' designation often implies a focus on sustainability in its composition.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The lacing system can be adjusted for a more personalized fit. Wear with appropriate socks for initial comfort.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning materials may compress with extended use. For significantly degraded cushioning, consider replacing the shoes. Ensure insoles are clean and properly seated.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe components. Try drying the shoes thoroughly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: The Gel-kinetic Fluent is designed for general wear and light athletic activities. It is compatible with most athletic and casual apparel. It is not specifically engineered for specialized sports requiring rigid support or extreme traction.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to degrade or shrink.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
