FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While designed for running, the comfortable cushioning makes them suitable for walking, though the rockered sole is specifically optimized for running gait mechanics.
Do I need to size up for the Noosa TRI 16?
These trainers generally fit true to size, though it is standard practice to go up a half size compared to casual footwear to account for foot expansion during runs.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, performance running shoes like these provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the sockliners are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are these waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed for maximum ventilation, meaning they will not keep feet dry in wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during initial wear
The GUIDESOLE technology promotes a forward rolling motion; focus on a mid-foot strike to allow the rocker geometry to work as intended.
Accumulation of dirt in mesh upper
Use a soft dry brush after every run to prevent dust from settling into the fabric fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Noosa TRI 16, it is recommended to keep them for road-specific activities rather than trail running to preserve the ASICSGRIP outsole. When cleaning, avoid using harsh chemicals; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh upper. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing your preferred running socks when evaluating the sizing to account for natural foot swelling during long runs.
