FAQs
What activities are the Asics Gel-Quantum 180 VIII best suited for?
They are ideal for daily wear, walking, light gym training, and general fitness activities. Their GEL cushioning and responsive midsole provide comfort and support for a variety of moderate exercises.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Asics or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on in-store is the most accurate method.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While they offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for general training and daily use. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and specific cushioning profiles are generally recommended.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GEL cushioning system. Clean them using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology is strategically placed within the midsole to absorb shock effectively upon impact, providing a smoother transition and reducing stress on your feet and joints.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The specific model 'Asics Gel-Quantum 180 VIII Trainers - Black - UK 11.5' is black. However, the Gel-Quantum 180 VIII series may be available in other colorways from different retailers or as separate product listings.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in. The breathable materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect the GEL unit. For significant degradation, consider replacement after extensive use.
Upper material feels warm during intense activity
While designed for breathability, very high-intensity workouts may still generate heat. Ensure socks are also breathable and consider a brief break if discomfort occurs.
