FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?

The GEL technology is strategically placed to provide superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during movement.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes with features tailored for high-mileage performance.

How does the FF Blast Plus Eco cushioning differ from standard cushioning?

FF Blast Plus Eco is a lightweight and responsive foam that offers excellent energy return and a softer feel, contributing to overall comfort.

Can I wear these trainers with different coloured socks?

Yes, the black colour of the trainers makes them versatile. You can pair them with various sock colours, though darker or neutral colours might blend best with the shoe's aesthetic.

What does 'technical welding' on the upper refer to?

Technical welding refers to a construction method that uses heat or adhesives to bond materials, creating a seamless, durable, and visually modern finish on the shoe's upper.

How do I know if my UK 11 size is the right fit?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively when you walk.

Troubleshooting

Initial tightness or discomfort

Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure the laces are adjusted appropriately, not too tight or too loose.

Slipping heel

Check lacing technique; try a 'heel lock' lacing method. Ensure the size is correct; a heel slip can indicate the shoe is too large.

Reduced cushioning over time

While durable, cushioning can decrease with extensive use. For a noticeable difference, consider replacement if the shoes are heavily worn.
