Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-CITREK trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of trail shoe aesthetics and high-performance running features for a contemporary look. The key benefit is the comfortable stride provided by GEL™ technology in the heel, combined with durable construction. A potential consideration is that while inspired by trail shoes, they are primarily trainers, so extreme trail conditions may not be their ideal application.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual trail running?

The ASICS GEL-CITREK trainers are inspired by trail shoe styles and feature durable overlays, making them robust for general wear. However, they are primarily designed as trainers and may not offer the specific grip, support, or protection required for technical or aggressive trail running.

How do I clean the white mesh and leather parts?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic leather. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water. Always air dry the shoes.

What is the benefit of the GEL™ technology?

The GEL™ technology is strategically placed in the heel of the shoe to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and enhancing overall comfort during wear.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand washing specific parts like the laces and spot cleaning the shoe is the preferred method.

What type of activities are these trainers best suited for?

These trainers are best suited for everyday wear, walking, light gym training, and casual activities where comfort and a stylish, modern look are desired. They combine athletic functionality with a contemporary aesthetic.

How long does the GEL™ cushioning typically last?

The GEL™ cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness can gradually decrease with extensive use and time. Regular care and avoiding extreme conditions will help maintain its performance.

What is the origin of manufacture for these shoes?

These shoes are produced in Cambodia, with processes including stitching, assembly, and finishing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if this is the correct size or if the shoe requires a break-in period. Use the lacing system to adjust tightness.

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more walks to see if it subsides. If it persists, check if any part of the sole or insole is rubbing, and ensure laces are tied correctly.

Discomfort during long wear

Ensure you have the correct size and width. The GEL™ technology provides cushioning, but individual foot anatomy varies. Consider using aftermarket insoles if specific arch support is needed. Allow for a break-in period.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic leather parts. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the sole, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before re-lacing.
  4. Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
