FAQs

What makes the Scutoid GEL cushioning system different?

The Scutoid GEL technology features a unique, 3D geometric shape that allows for greater flexibility and enhanced shock absorption compared to traditional GEL units, providing a softer and more stable ride.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While these trainers offer excellent cushioning for everyday wear and light workouts, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and athleisure. For serious marathon running, dedicated ASICS running shoes with specific stability and cushioning features for long-distance running are recommended.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive heel slippage.

What does the "ECO" in FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO mean?

The "ECO" signifies that this cushioning technology is made using recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process without compromising on performance.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies within the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the inspiration behind the US7-S GEL-KINETIC FLUENT silhouette?

The silhouette draws inspiration from the STREAL 361 soccer spike and the concept of insulated grottos, with design elements influenced by the visual artist Edith Dekynd, creating a blend of technical welding and unique mesh patterns.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

Yes, the GEL-Kinetic Fluent model is available in various colorways, often with different secondary colors complementing the main purple hue. Please check the product listing for currently available options.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try removing the insole and ensuring both the insole and the inside of the shoe are completely dry. A light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe might also help.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Over time, cushioning can compact. Ensure the shoe is clean and dry. For significant loss of cushioning, consider the lifespan of the shoe's midsole technology, which is designed for a certain number of miles or years of use.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust the fit across the midfoot. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the correct fit for your foot shape.

Mesh material snagged or torn

Avoid contact with sharp objects. Minor snags may not affect performance, but significant tears can compromise the shoe's structure and breathability. Professional shoe repair might offer limited options.
