FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS GEL-PHOENIX 12 are designed with a standard fit. Specific width options are not detailed in the product information. It is recommended to try them on or consult with a footwear specialist if you have concerns about width.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology in the rearfoot is designed to absorb shock effectively during impact, leading to softer landings and a smoother stride, which helps in reducing strain on your joints.
How does the FLYTEFOAM cushioning contribute to performance?
FLYTEFOAM cushioning in the midsole provides excellent impact absorption while keeping the shoe lightweight and agile, enhancing overall performance and comfort during runs or workouts.
Can these trainers be used for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and gym activities. They may not provide sufficient grip or support for technical trail running.
What is the difference between this model and previous GEL-PHOENIX versions?
The GEL-PHOENIX 12 is updated with FLYTEFOAM cushioning in the midsole for improved impact absorption and a lighter feel compared to some previous versions.
How should I clean the mesh upper?

What activities are these trainers best suited for?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot type.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning technologies, FLYTEFOAM and GEL, are designed for durability, but their effectiveness can decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or if you notice a substantial loss in shock absorption.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
