FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers offer excellent cushioning for general running and training. For marathon distances, dedicated marathon shoes with specific long-distance support and cushioning might be more suitable.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers are made with breathable materials which may offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to wear waterproof footwear. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and consider your usual UK shoe size. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consider your foot width, as they offer a standard fit.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Quantum 180 VIII and other ASICS models?
The Gel-Quantum 180 VIII is characterized by its combination of GEL cushioning and a modern, versatile design, making it a strong all-around trainer for both athletic activities and everyday style.
How often should I clean my Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after dusty or dirty use. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and material longevity.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Gel-Quantum 180 VIII provides moderate arch support as part of its overall cushioning system. Individuals requiring significant or specialized arch support might benefit from using custom insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoe is still tight, try loosening the laces and wearing them for short periods to allow them to break in. For persistent tightness, consider alternative lacing techniques or a wider fit if available.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability but may feel less pronounced after extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity. If cushioning significantly degrades, it may be time to consider replacement.
Slipping during activity
Check the outsole for wear and tear. Ensure the laces are tied securely. The grip is optimized for training surfaces; for highly specialized or slippery conditions, consider sport-specific footwear.
