Asics Trainers - GEL-Kinetic Fluent - Size 9.5 UK

Its uniqueness stems from a design inspired by a soccer spike and insulated grottos, combined with a visually artistic approach to materials and a blend of retro and modern technology like GEL-Scutoid and FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning.

While they offer excellent cushioning for everyday activities and light workouts, they are not specifically designed for long-distance or professional marathon running. For such activities, specialized running shoes are recommended.

It refers to ASICS' advanced cushioning technology that provides lightweight, responsive, and soft cushioning. The 'ECO' designation indicates that it is made partially from recycled materials.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive heel sliver.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and appearance of the materials.

The TRUSSTIC mechanism is a component in the midsole that provides stability by controlling torsion, helping to guide the foot through a natural gait cycle.

The GEL-Kinetic Fluent series may be released in various limited edition colorways. It's advisable to check the official ASICS website or authorized retailers for currently available options.

Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, distributing pressure more evenly. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width or volume.

The cushioning may naturally compress over time with use. For immediate relief, ensure insoles are clean and properly seated. If the issue persists, the shoe may have reached the end of its effective cushioning life.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or between the sole and the ground. Try wearing thicker socks or applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe around the sole area.
