Its GEL Technology cushioning makes it ideal for prolonged walking, standing, or casual errands, absorbing impact effectively. For example, wearing these on a city tour or during a long shift on your feet will significantly reduce fatigue.

Using your ASICS Gel-Quantum KEI Sneakers is straightforward:
Lacing: Loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and ensure your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
Adjust Fit: Tighten the laces evenly, starting from the toes upwards, to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit. Tie a secure knot.
Initial Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the shoes to conform to your foot shape. This helps ensure optimal comfort and fit.
These sneakers are highly versatile:
Apparel: They pair well with athletic wear (joggers, shorts, t-shirts) and casual outfits (jeans, chinos, hoodies).
Activities: Suitable for daily commuting, casual outings, light workouts, gym sessions, and extended periods of standing or walking.
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your sneakers:
Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, remove laces and insoles. Use a soft brush to scrub the upper with a shoe cleaner. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Drying: Always air dry your sneakers. Avoid machine drying, which can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. Odour-absorbing inserts or sprays can also be used.
