Getting the most out of your ASICS Gel-Quantum 360 VII sneakers involves proper fitting, understanding compatibility, and routine care.
Lacing: Ensure your laces are snug but not overly tight. Use a lacing technique that secures your heel and midfoot without creating pressure points on the top of your foot. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience discomfort.
Sock Choice: Wear appropriate running socks that wick moisture away and prevent blisters. The fit of your socks can impact the overall feel of the shoe.
First Wear: Walk around in your new sneakers for short periods before your first run to allow your feet to adjust to the cushioning and fit.
Orthotics/Insoles: The Gel-Quantum 360 VII typically comes with a removable insole. If you use custom orthotics, remove the existing insole before inserting your custom ones to maintain proper fit and support.
Running Surfaces: Best suited for road and track surfaces. While they can handle light gravel paths, they are not specifically designed for aggressive trail running.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your sneakers:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) after each run. For tougher grime, use a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with lukewarm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Spot Clean: Focus on soiled areas. Do not submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can affect cushioning materials and adhesives.
Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade materials over time.
Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out after runs. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to help control odors.
