FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers offer good cushioning for general running. For marathon distances, a shoe with more specialized long-distance running features might be more appropriate. However, they are suitable for shorter to medium runs.
How do I clean the Black/Carrier Grey trainers?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to clean the exterior. Gently scrub any soiled areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe away soap residue. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The primary benefit of the GEL technology is its superior shock-absorbing capability, which helps to reduce impact on your joints during physical activity and provides a comfortable feel.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
Yes, the Asics Gel-Quantum 180 VIII trainers typically have a removable insole, making them compatible with most standard orthotics or custom insoles for personalized support.
What makes the midsole responsive?
The midsole is engineered with materials and a design that allows it to compress upon impact and then quickly return to its original shape, providing energy return with each step.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for most adult feet. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on before purchasing or look for wide-fit specific models if available.
What is the intended use for these trainers?
These trainers are designed for versatile use, including athletic training, running (shorter to medium distances), walking, and general everyday wear, combining performance and style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thinner socks or wearing the shoes for short periods to break them in. If issues persist, consult the retailer for exchange options.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
GEL cushioning is designed for durability but can degrade with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure the shoes fit correctly. If the issue persists, consider adding an aftermarket insole for personalized arch support or cushioning. Check if the specific activity requires a shoe with more specialized support.
