FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The GEL-PULSE 17 offers good cushioning for running, but for marathons, dedicated long-distance running shoes with specialized support and higher levels of cushioning might be more appropriate.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.
What is the benefit of AHARPLUS rubber?
AHARPLUS rubber is ASICS' highly abrasion-resistant outsole material, offering significantly improved durability in the heel area, making the shoe last longer under normal wear.
How does the FF BLAST cushioning differ from GEL technology?
FF BLAST is a lightweight and energetic midsole foam that provides a responsive ride, while GEL technology is a material placed in specific areas (like the rearfoot) to absorb shock and provide superior cushioning upon impact.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
What does 'solution dyeing' for the insole mean?
Solution dyeing is a manufacturing process for the insole material that uses less water and reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods, making it an environmentally friendlier approach.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is described as flat, generally falling between 1 to 3 cm, providing a stable base.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe shape does not suit your foot.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the GEL and FF BLAST technologies are durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use cases for the shoe.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The AHARPLUS outsole provides good traction, but like all footwear, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Avoid abrasive actions or snagging the mesh. Clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Minor scuffs can often be wiped away.
