FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious trail running?

Can I wear these trainers for everyday casual use?

How do I clean the leather upper of these trainers?

What is ASICS GEL technology?
ASICS `GEL technology` is a cushioning system located in the rearfoot of the shoe. It uses a silicone-based material to absorb shock during impact, providing improved comfort and protection for your feet and joints.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The product description does not specify if these trainers are waterproof. While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, they are not designed to be fully waterproof. > Info needed: [Waterproofing level]

Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure you have the correct size; a proper fit is crucial. Allow for a break-in period, as new shoes can feel stiff. Wear appropriate socks designed for athletic use to reduce friction. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or consulting a footwear specialist.
Decreased grip or traction on specific surfaces.
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread thoroughly with a brush to remove mud, small stones, or dirt that might compromise grip. If the tread is significantly worn down, it might be time for new shoes, especially for trail use.
Unpleasant odor from the trainers.
After each use, remove insoles and allow the trainers to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. You can use shoe deodorizers, cedar inserts, or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors. Wash insoles periodically according to their specific care instructions.
Leather upper appears dull or cracked.
Clean the leather thoroughly to remove dirt and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or protector. This helps to moisturize the leather, preventing drying and cracking, and restoring its appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme dryness.
