FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Asics Gel-Nunobiki trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and performance features required for intense running activities.
How should I clean the leather exterior?
Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the Rearfoot GEL technology?
The Rearfoot GEL technology is incorporated to absorb shock during the heel strike phase of walking or standing, providing enhanced cushioning and reducing impact on your feet and joints.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are properly dried if they get wet to prevent damage to the leather.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes. The heel should not slip excessively when walking. It's recommended to try them on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For maximum comfort and to prevent blisters, it is recommended to wear standard athletic socks or socks made from moisture-wicking materials. Ensure the socks are clean and fit well.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Consider using wax-coated laces for increased durability.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat or dryness.
Reduced grip on outsole
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Inspect the tread pattern for excessive wear.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that socks are worn correctly.

Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Laces: Keep laces clean by brushing them or washing gently by hand.
- Outsole: Clean the outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and protect the material.
