Troubleshooting

Sizing concerns

Consult the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot before purchasing. Refer to the specific size listed for each variant.

Material scuffs easily

Clean minor scuffs with a damp cloth. For deeper marks, consider a leather cleaner specifically designed for synthetic leather. Regular care can help prevent permanent marks.

Reduced comfort over time

Ensure the shoes fit correctly. Over time, insoles can wear down; consider replacing them with aftermarket insoles for renewed comfort and support.

Care:
