FAQs
What makes the GEL cushioning in the Gel-Kinetic 2.0 special?
The Gel-Kinetic 2.0 features improved Scutoid Gel™ pods which are specifically engineered to provide better shock absorption and distribute impact forces more effectively underfoot compared to previous GEL technologies.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and casual use. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activities, they are not optimized for dedicated running performance.
How do I determine the right size?
The trainers are available in UK adult sizes and are a standard width (D). We recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to the ASICS sizing chart, or trying them on if possible, to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole provides reliable grip, but the trainers are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended.
What is the Trusstic™ system for?
The Trusstic™ system is a midfoot stability component that helps control torsion (twisting) of the shoe, providing enhanced structural integrity and support during movement.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from synthetic materials, featuring PU molded synthetic leather overlays for a retro look and added durability.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Traction feels insufficient
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the rubber sole to restore grip. These trainers are designed for general use, not for extreme conditions.
Laces come undone easily
Try a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a type that offers better grip.
Inconsistent cushioning feel
The cushioning is designed for comfort and shock absorption during casual wear. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme temperatures that could affect the foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Kinetic 2.0 trainers are designed for unisex adult use. They are suitable for standard width feet (D). While versatile for casual wear, they are not intended for specialized sports requiring specific footwear features like cleating or extreme ankle support.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- For the outsole, use a soft brush to remove mud or debris.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
