FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they feature advanced cushioning, the Asics UB13-S Gel SD Lyte are primarily designed for urban wear and comfort, not for high-impact running. For dedicated running, consider Asics' specialized running shoe lines.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of layered textiles and synthetic materials, designed for breathability and a retro aesthetic.

How do I determine my UK shoe size?

Measure the length of your foot from heel to toe and compare it with the Asics sizing chart available on their official website or retailer sites. A UK size 11.5 is a common larger size.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The materials offer some resistance, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. For wet conditions, consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for the materials.

What makes the GEL cushioning unique?

The GEL technology is strategically placed within the midsole to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing impact stress on the joints.

Is this a collaborative model?

Yes, the Asics UB13-S Gel SD Lyte is a collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov Studio, merging their design vision with Asics' technical footwear expertise.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too tight/loose

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the laces for a more customized fit. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up or down.

Cushioning feels stiff initially

New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.

Minor scuffs on the upper

For textile and synthetic uppers, use a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For tougher stains, consult specialized shoe cleaning products suitable for mixed materials.
