FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The ASICS GEL-1000™ trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, drawing on running technology for comfort. For marathon running, ASICS recommends specific models engineered for high-performance running.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ Technology?

The GEL™ Technology in the heel provides superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during walking and standing, thus enhancing overall comfort.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with ASICS' sizing chart. If possible, try the shoes on to ensure a comfortable fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes.

What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is located in the midfoot and helps to provide stability, prevent excessive twisting, and improve walking efficiency.

How does the retro design benefit the wearer?

The retro design offers a classic aesthetic inspired by ASICS' heritage, making the trainers a stylish choice for casual outfits and a nod to vintage sportswear.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays, providing both comfort and support with a classic look.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the sole layers or inserts. Try removing the insole and drying both it and the inside of the shoe completely. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Laces becoming dirty quickly

Clean the laces separately with mild soap and water, then air dry. Consider using lace-cleaning wipes for quick touch-ups.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While GEL™ technology is durable, the cushioning may feel less pronounced after extensive use. Ensure the insoles are clean and properly positioned. For significantly degraded cushioning, consider replacing the insoles.

Care:
