FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The GEL-DS TRAINER 14 is primarily designed as a lightweight lifestyle trainer for everyday comfort and style. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the product's sizing information, which is typically provided in UK adult foot sizes. Comparing your foot measurement to a sizing chart can help ensure an accurate fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS GEL-DS TRAINER 14. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the preferred method to preserve the shoe's materials and structure.
What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a molded component located under the midfoot. It provides enhanced stability by controlling the rate of foot pronation and providing torsional rigidity.
What is the main appeal of the GEL-DS TRAINER 14?
Its main appeal lies in its combination of lightweight comfort, retro 2000s design inspiration, and features like GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC support, making it a stylish and comfortable option for daily wear.
How does the GEL cushioning work?
ASICS' GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system. It's strategically placed in the rear and forefoot to absorb shock during impact and provide a softer landing.
Troubleshooting
Unusual odor
Ensure trainers are completely dry after wear. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure proper ventilation during storage.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a thin insert or powder inside the shoe, or check for loose parts in the sole.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
