FAQs
Is the Noosa TRI 16 suitable for daily training?
Yes, it is designed as a versatile trainer that offers enough comfort for daily miles while being responsive enough for speed work.
What is the primary benefit of the GUIDESOLE technology?
It reduces the amount of work required by the lower leg muscles by promoting a smoother, more efficient forward motion.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the adhesive used in the construction of the shoe. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Noosa TRI 16 features an engineered mesh upper for maximum breathability, meaning they are not waterproof.
What makes the construction sustainable?
The sockliner uses a solution dyeing process which reduces water usage by 33% and carbon emissions by 45% compared to traditional dyeing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel unstable on uneven surfaces
The GUIDESOLE technology is optimized for flat road surfaces; avoid using these shoes on technical trails or uneven terrain where ankle stability is compromised.
Feeling discomfort in the arch or ankle
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the rocker design feels unusual, try adjusting your laces to ensure a secure, locked-in fit around the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Noosa TRI 16 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them on shorter runs first to allow the GUIDESOLE rocker to adapt to your specific gait.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots. Do not submerge in water.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can deform the foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh upper and the cushioning properties of the foam.
