FAQs

What does ASICS Gel-Quantum technology do?

ASICS Gel-Quantum technology involves strategic placement of GEL® cushioning units in the midsole to absorb shock, reduce impact during movement, and provide exceptional comfort and energy return.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or gym workouts?

The ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI is primarily designed for exceptional comfort and style in casual settings. While they offer good support for walking, they are not specialized running or training shoes. For dedicated athletic activities, ASICS offers specific performance models.

How do I determine if UK size 8 is right for me?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to standard ASICS sizing charts. If possible, try on shoes from the Gel-Quantum series to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models and brands.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is generally not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Always clean them by hand using mild soap and a soft brush, then air dry.

What kind of support do these sneakers offer?

These sneakers offer enhanced support through their advanced Gel-Quantum cushioning system and structured design, providing stability and comfort for everyday casual wear.

Is the Graphite Grey/Cayenne color durable?

Yes, ASICS uses durable dyes and materials. However, like all footwear, prolonged exposure to harsh elements, excessive scrubbing, or chemical cleaners can affect the color's vibrancy over time. Regular gentle cleaning is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have the correct size (this model is UK 8). Re-adjust laces for a more customized fit. Consider trying different lacing techniques for wider or narrower feet. Wear them with the type of socks you typically use.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often, this is due to a new insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder underneath it, then reinserting. Ensure laces are tied securely.

Foot discomfort or blisters after initial wear.

New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially. Ensure your socks are breathable and fit well. If discomfort persists, check if the shoe shape is suitable for your foot type or if the sizing is incorrect.

Stains or dirt on the shoe surface.

Clean promptly with a soft brush and mild soap solution. For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner. Always air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the sneakers from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded correctly and adjust for a snug, comfortable fit. Do not overtighten.
  3. First Wear: Walk around indoors to get a feel for the fit and cushioning. Break-in period is typically minimal due to the advanced comfort technologies.

Compatibility

  • Wearers: Designed for adult individuals seeking comfortable and supportive casual footwear.
  • Occasions: Best suited for casual environments and everyday activities. Not specifically designed for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.
  • Sizing: This specific model is a UK size 8. Ensure this matches your usual shoe size for optimal fit.

Care

Proper care extends the life and appearance of your sneakers:

  • Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. For deeper cleaning, remove laces and insoles, and hand wash with a sneaker cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Air dry sneakers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as these can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
  • Odor Control: Use sneaker deodorizers or baking soda sachets to keep them fresh between wears.
  • Rotation: If possible, rotate with other footwear to allow the sneakers to air out and materials to recover, prolonging their lifespan.
