FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While drawing inspiration from running archives and featuring excellent cushioning, the ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT are primarily designed for everyday wear, comfort, and light activities rather than intense, competitive running.
How do I clean the synthetic leather and mesh?
Gently wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard or using harsh chemicals. Air dry away from direct heat.
What is FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning?
FF BLAST PLUS ECO is a lightweight and responsive foam technology in the midsole that provides excellent cushioning and a bouncy feel, partially made with bio-based materials for a more sustainable approach.
What does 'scutoid GEL technology' do?
Scutoid GEL technology is strategically placed in the midsole to provide enhanced shock absorption and impact attenuation, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable ride by dispersing impact forces effectively.
Is the sizing standard for these shoes?
ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT shoes generally follow standard UK sizing for adults. However, for the best fit, we recommend consulting the official ASICS sizing chart.
Can these shoes be worn by women?
While the product attributes specify 'Male', many individuals find these styles to be unisex. However, the fit profile may be designed with male foot anatomy in mind. We recommend trying them on to assess comfort and fit.
Are these shoes good for walking?
Yes, with their superior cushioning and responsive rebound, the ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT are very well-suited for walking, providing comfort and support over extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. ASICS provides a detailed sizing chart. Consider trying a half-size up or down, or adjusting sock thickness.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur if moisture is trapped between the outsole and a surface, or due to a new insole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder under it. If persistent, check for debris.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in new shoes gradually. If discomfort persists, check if the lacing is too tight or loose in specific areas. Consider professional gait analysis if using for running.
Shoes appear dirty or stained.
Clean promptly using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap, especially on the mesh and synthetic leather sections. Avoid letting dirt dry and cake on.
Odour developing in shoes.
Allow shoes to air out after each use. Use shoe deodorizers or natural alternatives like baking soda. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
