FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running silhouettes, the Gel-Kinetic 2.0 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily comfort and walking, not for high-intensity competitive running.
What does the TRUSSTIC cage do?
The TRUSSTIC cage is a structural bridge under the midfoot that provides stability and prevents the shoe from twisting unnecessarily during movement.
How should I clean my Asics Gel-Kinetic 2.0?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe the exterior. Never put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The combination of the TRUSSTIC cage and the foam cushioning offers a stable base that provides good neutral arch support for most casual users.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard Asics sizing; however, since they feature a structured cage, it is recommended to ensure your specific UK size is verified against your usual footwear.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during long walks
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly to engage the TRUSSTIC cage, and verify that you are wearing the correct size to prevent foot sliding.
Visible dirt in the GEL pods
Use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to gently dislodge debris from the gaps around the Scutoid GEL pods.
Upper material showing wear
Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing; stick to a gentle damp cloth wipe-down to preserve the synthetic material and molded overlays.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
- Stain Removal: For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the molded overlays and GEL pods.
