ASICS Gel-Lyte 3 OG 'Nice Cream' - Brown - Size UK 9

While the ASICS Gel-Lyte 3 OG provides excellent cushioning and comfort, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance running shoes. They are best suited for casual wear and light walking.

For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid saturating the suede with water.

ASICS Gel cushioning involves strategically placed silicone-based gel units in the midsole. These units absorb shock, reduce impact on your joints, and provide a more comfortable and responsive feel underfoot.

The split tongue design is a signature feature of the Gel-Lyte III and is intended to enhance comfort. It wraps around the foot for a snug, sock-like fit, preventing the tongue from sliding sideways and eliminating pressure points.

Due to the premium leather and suede materials, these trainers are best worn in dry conditions. Exposure to heavy rain or mud can damage the materials and affect their appearance. Consider a protective spray for light moisture resistance.

The upper is crafted from a combination of high-quality perforated ivory-hued leather, tonal shaggy suede overlays, and leather side stripes, offering both durability and a luxurious texture.

ASICS Gel-Lyte 3 models generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by foot shape. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or checking specific sizing recommendations if available.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or tightness. The split tongue is designed for comfort, but personal preference for lacing can vary.

While Gel cushioning provides support, ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider using an orthopedic insole compatible with the shoe's fit.

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb moisture and odors.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove embedded dirt and debris that can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn, which may indicate it's time for replacement.
