FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?
The GEL technology provides superior shock absorption, significantly enhancing comfort and reducing impact during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS GEL-1000 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, specialized ASICS running shoes with advanced stability and cushioning features are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
This guide refers to UK size 11.5 for men. It is recommended to consult the ASICS sizing chart or try them on in person if possible, as fit can vary between models and individuals.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, especially the GEL cushioning and leather overlays. Hand clean with mild soap and water.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ support system do?
The TRUSSTIC™ support system enhances midfoot stability, preventing excessive twisting and providing a more controlled stride.
How often should I replace my trainers?
For general use, trainers typically need replacement every 300-500 miles or when cushioning feels significantly reduced and signs of wear appear. For the GEL-1000, this translates to regular use over 1-2 years depending on activity level.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh combined with supportive leather overlays.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped within the shoe's layers. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL technology is designed for long-term performance, but natural wear can reduce its effectiveness. For general use, this typically takes a significant amount of time. Ensure you are not using them for activities beyond their intended scope.
Stains on the mesh or leather
For light stains on mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. For leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult male feet, the UK size 11.5 offers a specific fit. While versatile for casual wear and light training, they are not intended for highly specialized athletic performance needs.
Care: To maintain the condition of your ASICS GEL-1000 trainers:
