FAQs
What makes the ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT unique?
Their uniqueness stems from the Kiko Kostadinov Studio curation, blending early 2000s interior design inspiration with ASICS's performance technology, featuring asymmetrical tongue pulls and advanced cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for style and everyday comfort or light training. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models with different support and cushioning profiles.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on our website. For this model, consider the specific fit recommendations if available, as trainer fits can vary.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and potential damage.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh and synthetic upper are not waterproof. They offer breathability but are not designed for protection against heavy rain or water.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
This is normal for new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Discomfort around the ankle collar
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. The low padded collar should provide comfort, but adjust lacing to find the optimal fit. If persistent, consider thicker socks.
Dirt accumulation on mesh areas
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. For deeper cleaning, a specialized shoe cleaner for mesh materials can be used sparingly.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. Designed for casual wear, walking, and light training activities. They are not intended for professional or high-impact sports.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Laces and Insoles: Remove laces and insoles for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
