FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning and support for everyday activities and light exercise, they are not engineered for high-performance running.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
We recommend trying them on if possible. Check the size guide provided by ASICS for specific measurements. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe's tip, and that the heel does not slip when walking.
What is the main difference between FF Blast Plus Eco and Scutoid Gel technology?
FF Blast Plus Eco is a lightweight and responsive foam cushioning that provides a soft feel underfoot. Scutoid Gel technology is a specific GEL cushioning unit designed for enhanced impact absorption, particularly in the heel, reducing shock during landing.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear most types of socks. For maximum comfort and to prevent potential color transfer from the shoe's interior, consider wearing darker or athletic socks, especially during the initial wears.
How durable are the Gel-Kinetic Fluent Trainers?
ASICS products are known for their durability. The Gel-Kinetic Fluent Trainers are constructed with quality materials and advanced technologies designed for longevity in casual use.
Are there other color options available for this model?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent series is available in a range of colorways, including grey, black, and variations of white with secondary colors. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the insole rubbing. Try removing the insole, ensuring it's dry, and re-inserting it. If the noise persists, a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discomfort in the arch area
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. If the discomfort continues, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for arch support, ensuring they are compatible with the trainer's fit.
Color transfer onto socks
New trainers, especially darker colors, may have some excess dye. This usually reduces after a few wears and washes. You can try wiping the inside with a damp cloth to remove any loose dye.
