FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for extreme cold weather?
While the GORE-TEX technology provides excellent waterproofness and breathability, these trainers are primarily designed for moderate weather conditions and general training. For extreme cold, insulated footwear would be more appropriate.
How do I ensure the best fit?
We recommend trying the trainers on with the type of socks you typically wear for athletic activities. Ensure there is adequate space in the toe box and that the heel does not slip. Refer to the ASICS sizing guide for UK measurements.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GORE-TEX membrane, the GEL cushioning, and the overall structure of the shoe.
What is the main advantage of the AHAR rubber outsole?
The AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) outsole is designed for exceptional durability, meaning it wears down more slowly than standard rubber. It also provides reliable traction on various surfaces, enhancing stability and preventing slips.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. It's advisable to clean them after particularly muddy or wet use. For regular wear, a spot clean or wipe-down as needed will help maintain their condition.
What does 'GTX' in the product name signify?
GTX is an abbreviation for GORE-TEX, indicating that the trainers incorporate GORE-TEX technology, which provides waterproof and breathable protection for your feet.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is intact and not damaged. Check that all seams are sealed. Also, verify that laces and sock cuffs are not allowing water to seep in from the top.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL technology is designed for long-term cushioning. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, consider if the shoes have exceeded their typical lifespan or if external factors have compacted the midsole. Consistent exposure to extreme heat can degrade cushioning.
Traction feels slippery
Clean the AHAR rubber outsole to remove any debris or mud that might be hindering grip. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; if the tread pattern is significantly diminished, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size and width have been selected. Try using different lacing techniques to adjust the fit around the foot. Break-in periods may be required for new shoes.
