Lacing: Before your first run, ensure the shoes are laced correctly and securely. Lacing should be snug but not uncomfortably tight, allowing for natural foot flexion. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points.
Break-in Period: While designed for immediate comfort, it's advisable to wear the shoes for shorter walks or light runs initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape. This helps prevent discomfort on longer runs.
Age Group: Designed for adults.
Gender: Primarily marketed for male users, but suitable for anyone who fits the sizing.
Size: This specific model is a UK 9. Always refer to ASICS's size charts if unsure about conversion from other sizing systems.
Activities: Ideal for running, intense training, and general fitness activities.
Foot Type: While providing advanced cushioning, consider your personal pronation (foot roll) and arch type. For specific biomechanical needs, consulting a running specialist is recommended.
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your ASICS Quantum 360 VII shoes.
Cleaning:
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well).
Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with warm water.
Dampen a cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the exterior of the shoes, avoiding soaking them.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
For insoles, remove and hand wash separately with mild soap and water, then air dry.
DO NOT machine wash or machine dry your shoes, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), which can warp materials or cause adhesives to fail. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments, which can lead to odor and material degradation.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (then shake it out).
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of running shoes. This allows each pair to fully dry out and recover its cushioning properties between runs, extending their overall lifespan.
