FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS GEL-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light athletic activities. While they feature advanced cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and durability required for marathon running. For marathon training, ASICS offers dedicated running shoe lines.

What does 'Scutoid GEL' technology mean?

Scutoid GEL is an advanced cushioning system developed by ASICS. It features a specific geometric shape that enhances shock absorption and provides a smoother, more comfortable transition from heel to toe, offering improved impact protection.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight around the midfoot, and your heel should not slip excessively when walking.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The trainers feature a mesh upper which is breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to water may affect the materials and comfort.

What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC mechanism?

The TRUSSTIC mechanism is a stability feature located in the midsole. It helps to provide torsional rigidity, preventing excessive twisting of the foot and ensuring a more secure and stable stride, particularly beneficial during dynamic movements.

How does the Kiko Kostadinov Studio collaboration influence the design?

The collaboration brings a unique fashion-forward perspective to ASICS SportStyle. It influences the silhouette, material choices, and detailing, resulting in a shoe that blends contemporary style with performance technology, inspired by archival designs and artistic influences.

Are there other colorways available for this model?

Yes, the GEL-Kinetic Fluent series often comes in various colorways and collaborations. Please check the product listings or ASICS' official channels for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even fit. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning materials are designed for longevity but will naturally wear down with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider using them for their intended purpose (daily wear, light activity) rather than high-impact sports.

Mesh upper appears dirty and difficult to clean

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub the mesh. Blot with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance can vary on slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For increased traction on very wet or smooth surfaces, consider specialized footwear if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult use. Available in various UK adult sizes. The materials are selected for versatile wear.

Care Instructions: To maintain the condition of your ASICS GEL-Kinetic Fluent trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the mesh and synthetic materials with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  4. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
