FAQs
What makes the GEL-Scutoid Technology unique?
GEL-Scutoid Technology is an evolution of ASICS' signature GEL technology, designed to provide more targeted shock absorption and improved comfort by adapting its shape to specific foot movements.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS US7-S Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and general training, offering excellent comfort. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models engineered for performance and specific running biomechanics.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and compare it with your standard UK shoe size. The product details often specify the UK size available. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
What inspired the design of these trainers?
The design takes inspiration from the STREAL 361 soccer spike and the concept of insulated grottos, with influences from visual artist Edith Dekynd, blended with technical welding and unique eyelet elements.
Can the mesh upper be easily cleaned?
Yes, the mesh upper can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals to preserve the material and its breathability.
What is the main difference between this and other ASICS trainers?
The key difference lies in its unique aesthetic, a result of the collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS SportStyle, combined with specific cushioning technologies like GEL-Scutoid and FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO, geared towards a blend of fashion and everyday comfort.
What does FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning offer?
FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning provides a soft and bouncy feel while being made with more sustainable materials, contributing to both comfort and environmental consciousness.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system for a more customized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists, consider the fit of other ASICS models as sizing can vary slightly.
Cushioning feels stiff initially.
The GEL-Scutoid Technology and FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear.
Avoid abrasive contact and excessive pulling on the mesh. Clean gently with a damp cloth as recommended in the care instructions.
Rubber outsole traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
