FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional running?

The ASICS GEL-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed more for lifestyle, casual wear, and light training. While they offer excellent cushioning and stability, they are not engineered for the demands of professional or high-mileage running.

What does the FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning do?

FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO is an advanced cushioning system that provides a soft, lightweight, and responsive feel. The 'ECO' designation indicates it is made partially from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing provided. The trainers feature lace-up fastening for a customizable fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and materials of the shoes.

What is the 'Watershed Rose' colorway?

'Watershed Rose' refers to a specific colorway of the GEL-Kinetic Fluent, often featuring a blend of green and pink hues, emphasizing its sporty yet elegant aesthetic.

What inspired the design of this shoe?

The design is a collaboration between ASICS SportStyle and Kiko Kostadinov Studio, drawing inspiration from retro running shoes, the STREAL 361 soccer spike, and the concept of insulated grottos, with visual influences from Edith Dekynd.

Are these trainers unisex?

While some colorways and sizes are marketed towards specific genders, the overall design and technology are suitable for any adult user regardless of gender, often indicated by unisex sizing options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Use the lace fastening to adjust the fit. If still uncomfortable, consider breaking them in with short periods of wear or consult sizing guides.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning will naturally adapt to your foot. Ensure the midsole is clean, as dirt buildup can affect performance. For significant degradation, it may indicate the shoe's lifespan is nearing its end.

Discoloration on the upper

Follow the care instructions for cleaning. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive sunlight or harsh chemicals which can cause fading.

Sole traction feels weak

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the wear pattern on the sole is significantly uneven, it might be time for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box, requiring no complex setup. They are designed for compatibility with everyday casual wear and athletic attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or brush to remove dirt and debris.
  • Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
