FAQs
What type of activities are these shoes best suited for?
The ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT shoes are best suited for daily wear, casual walking, light workouts, and general lifestyle activities where comfort and support are paramount. They offer a blend of running-inspired technology for a comfortable 'fluent' experience.
How do I clean the synthetic leather and mesh upper?
To clean the upper, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing aggressively or using harsh chemicals. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally after cleaning.
What is FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning?
FF BLAST PLUS ECO is an advanced cushioning technology used in the midsole that delivers a responsive and energetic rebound sensation, providing comfort and springiness with each step. The 'ECO' indicates it incorporates more sustainably sourced materials.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology integrated into the midsole that enhances stability by reinforcing the shoe's midfoot structure. It helps to prevent excessive twisting and provides a more supportive ride.
Does this shoe contain recycled materials?
Yes, the synthetic leather used in the upper of the ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT is made with recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable product.
What is Scutoid GEL technology?
Scutoid GEL technology refers to strategically placed ASICS GEL units designed to provide advanced shock absorption and cushioning, particularly in areas of high impact, contributing to overall comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-KINETIC FLUENT draws inspiration from ASICS' running heritage and features running-specific technologies like FF BLAST PLUS ECO and GEL, it is primarily designed for a comfortable, fluent experience in daily wear and light activities, rather than high-performance competitive running.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or sweaty.
The shoe features mesh for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, allow shoes to air out thoroughly between uses and consider a foot powder.
The shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Verify you have the correct UK size. New shoes sometimes require a short 'break-in' period. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. If discomfort persists, consider checking if the shoe's support system aligns with your foot's arch type.
The cushioning doesn't feel as responsive over time.
The lifespan of cushioning varies with use. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended purpose (daily wear, light activity) rather than intense, high-impact sports, which can accelerate cushioning degradation. Regular cleaning and proper storage can also help maintain material integrity.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and synthetic leather portions with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the synthetic sole. Remove any trapped dirt or debris from the tread.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoe overnight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
