ASICS GEL-VENTURE 6 GTX Trainers - Black/ Illusion Blue - UK 6

These trainers are designed for urban exploration and light trail use. While they offer good cushioning and traction, they are not specialized running shoes. For dedicated running, especially on trails, a shoe with a more specific design might be preferable.

The GORE-TEX membrane is part of the shoe's upper. Clean the exterior of the shoe with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can degrade the membrane's performance.

The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing but can reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes. While suitable for general wear, they may feel warmer in very hot conditions.

The Rearfoot GEL technology is designed to attenuate shock during the impact phase of your stride, providing cushioning and helping to ensure a smoother transition through your gait cycle.

Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or your retailer. Ensure there is adequate space at the toe box and that the heel does not slip. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.

Sizing can vary slightly between models and brands. It is always recommended to check sizing guides and, if possible, try the shoes on before purchasing. This specific model is UK adult size 6.

Ensure socks are not absorbing moisture and that the shoe's internal lining is dry. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure the shoe is not submerged in water for extended periods.

Clean the outsole tread of any embedded debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces may still present challenges. Consider drying the outsole if it has been submerged.

Allow a short break-in period. Ensure laces are tied appropriately without being too tight. Verify correct shoe size and fit; consider using different socks.
