FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Gel-Venture 11 features a breathable upper which allows for airflow; it is not classified as waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While designed for trails, the cushioning makes them suitable for road use, though the rubber lugs may wear faster on abrasive pavement.
How should I clean the mud off?
Allow the mud to dry, then brush it off. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then air dry away from heat sources.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The shoe provides a neutral platform with moderate support, suitable for most foot types.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during long hikes
Check your lacing tension and ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks to prevent blisters.
Dirt buildup in the outsole lugs
Use a stiff brush or a stick to clear debris from the tread to maintain optimal traction.
Shoes feeling damp inside
Remove the inner sockliner and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, allowing them to dry naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best experience, ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of hiking socks to match the size 4.5 fit. Because the shoes utilize a breathable mesh upper, they are easy to clean; simply brush off dried mud or debris with a soft-bristled brush after your hike. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent, but avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning and the adhesive bonds of the shoe. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight.
