FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?
No, while they are inspired by trail shoes, they are designed for lifestyle and casual use, not technical hiking terrain.
What is the inspiration behind the name Nunobiki?
The shoe is named after the path of the serene waterfalls in Kobe, Japan, which is where ASICS is headquartered.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS generally fit standard, but it is recommended to check your size against the specific UK sizing provided if you are between sizes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the specialized matte and shiny material finishes.
Do these provide arch support?
They feature standard cushioned footbeds derived from ASICS heritage training models, offering good support for daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the textured synthetic layers
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently wipe the crevices of the textured panels, followed by air drying.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases in the synthetic leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: Like most lifestyle sneakers, wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the upper materials to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Since the shoe features a mix of matte and semi-shiny synthetic layers, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the finish from the synthetic panels.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the silver or cream accents.
- Moisture Protection: Consider applying a protective water-repellent spray suitable for synthetic and leather uppers to keep them looking fresh in light rain.
