FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof or water-resistant?

The ASICS Gel-Venture 11 features a waterproof upper, designed to provide a high level of protection against moisture and keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the size guide and measure your foot. It is recommended to try them on, ideally in the afternoon when feet are slightly swollen, to ensure a comfortable fit. The product is listed in UK adult male sizing.

Can I use these for intense trail running?

These trainers are suitable for light hiking and trail walking, offering good cushioning and traction. For very intense or technical trail running, specialized trail running shoes with advanced grip and support might be more appropriate.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock efficiently, reducing impact on your feet and joints, which leads to greater comfort, especially during prolonged activity or on hard surfaces.

How long does the waterproof feature typically last?

The durability of the waterproof membrane depends on usage and care. With regular cleaning and proper drying, it should maintain its effectiveness for a considerable period. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat that can degrade the material.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these?

For optimal comfort and to maximize the benefits of the waterproof feature, moisture-wicking athletic socks made from synthetic materials or wool blends are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp after extensive use in rain

While waterproof, the membrane can be compromised over time. Ensure the shoes are properly dried after each use. Check for any visible damage to the upper material. For persistent issues, consider re-waterproofing sprays specifically designed for footwear.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces

Inspect the outsole for embedded debris like mud or small stones, and clean thoroughly. If the tread appears significantly worn down, the outsole may need replacement, though this is typically an indicator of extended use.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear

Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Wear appropriate athletic socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods initially. Check for any internal seams or objects causing friction.

  • Suitable for a variety of athletic and outdoor activities.

Cons

  • May have reduced breathability compared to non-waterproof models during high-intensity activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Recommended for activities such as running, light hiking, trail walking, and general fitness training. They are designed for use on a variety of terrains.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For the interior, use a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or use a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and the waterproof membrane.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
