FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual trail running?
While inspired by trail shoes and featuring a durable rubber sole, the ASICS GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers are primarily designed for urban wear and light, well-maintained paths. They are not intended for technical trail running or aggressive off-road conditions.
How do I determine the correct size for unisex trainers?
Unisex sizing typically corresponds to men's sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart provided for the GEL-NUNOBIKI series to find the most accurate fit. Consider the fit of similar ASICS unisex models if available.
What is the inspiration behind the GEL-NUNOBIKI name?
The name 'Nunobiki' refers to a location in Kobe, Japan, known for its serene waterfalls. The shoe's design aims to capture the rugged textures found in nature, reflecting this inspiration.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers. The materials, particularly the polyurethane uppers and textile lining, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the primary material of the shoe's upper?
The upper of the ASICS GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers is made from 100% polyurethane, which contributes to its durable and unique aesthetic.
How does the cushioning feel?
The shoes feature 100% textile cushioning, designed to provide comfort for everyday wear and light activities. It offers a balance of softness and support for general use.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the lace-up fastening. If the overall fit is incorrect, double-check the UK size against your foot measurement. Refer to the sizing chart for ASICS unisex trainers.
Slight squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more walks. If the issue persists, ensure the insole is properly seated and there is no debris trapped in the sole.
Discoloration on synthetic upper
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using colored cloths that could transfer dye. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The rubber sole provides traction, but grip can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean, as mud or debris can affect performance. These are not specialized wet-weather or high-traction trail shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
The ASICS GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers require no specific setup. Upon receiving your shoes, ensure they are the correct size. The lace-up fastening allows for immediate adjustment to your comfort.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with most casual wear, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure outfits. While inspired by trail shoes, they are best suited for urban environments and light, non-technical outdoor paths rather than demanding off-road conditions.
Care:
- Uppers (100% Polyurethane): Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the synthetic material.
- Lining (100% Textile): Spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sole (100% Rubber): Wipe the sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Ensure the sole is dry before storage.
- Cushioning (100% Textile): For minor dirt on the cushioning, use a soft brush or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the shoe is fully dry before wearing again.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain material integrity.
