FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum 360 VIII Trainers are designed for general training and daily wear, offering excellent cushioning and support. For specialized long-distance running like marathons, dedicated running shoes with specific features for endurance might be more appropriate.
Can I wash the trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and hand-washing removable insoles is the preferred method to preserve the integrity and materials of the shoe.
What is the benefit of TRUSSTIC technology?
TRUSSTIC technology provides enhanced stability by reinforcing the midfoot area of the shoe, preventing excessive twisting and supporting a more controlled stride.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should not cause discomfort. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly swollen, can offer a more accurate fit assessment.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with breathable materials for comfort and ventilation during activity. For wet conditions, consider using a water-repellent spray or opting for waterproof footwear.
How often should I replace my trainers?
The lifespan of trainers varies based on usage, frequency, and activity type. Generally, for regular training, it's recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles or when you notice significant wear on the outsole, reduced cushioning, or midsole collapse.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure the tongue is properly positioned. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the removable insole is adding too much pressure. Try wearing them with thinner socks.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its responsiveness can be maintained by following proper care instructions. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry. If performance significantly degrades, it may be time to consider replacement after extensive use.
Slight squeaking sound
This can occasionally happen due to friction between internal components or the insole. Try removing and reinserting the insole. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole can sometimes resolve this.
