ASICS Gel-Citrek Trainers - Black - UK 5.5

The upper is primarily made of 100% other materials, with durable tear-resistant overlays and synthetic leather details.

Yes, the midsole features GEL™ technology in the heel, designed to provide good comfort and shock absorption.

These trainers are inspired by trail running styles and offer comfort for general wear and light activities. For intense or long-distance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

Wipe the uppers with a slightly damp cloth, spot clean the lining with mild detergent, and brush the rubber sole. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

The product details state that the shoe is produced in Cambodia (stitching, assembly, and finishing).

The rubber sole provides traction, but the mesh upper may not be waterproof. They are suitable for general wear and light outdoor conditions, but not for heavy rain or deep puddles without additional protection.

Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring they are snug but not overly restrictive. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe requires a brief break-in period.

Ensure the rubber sole is clean of mud or debris. For persistent slipperiness, check the tread wear; if significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.

Verify the lacing is correct for adequate heel support. The GEL™ cushioning is designed for comfort, so persistent discomfort might indicate an incorrect fit or a need for an insole.
