FAQs

How do I ensure I'm getting the right size?

Always refer to the UK size listed. Be aware that the box or label might show US or European sizes, which differ. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Gel-Flux 8 trainers are designed for general training and jogging. For competitive marathon running, you might consider specialized racing shoes that offer different performance characteristics.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and cushioning technology. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the primary benefit of the GelTM technology?

The GelTM technology is incorporated for enhanced shock absorption, providing a cushioned and more comfortable running experience by reducing impact on your feet and joints.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or loss of cushioning.

Do these trainers offer good ankle support?

The Gel-Flux 8 provides standard support typical for trainers. For enhanced ankle stability, look for shoes with a higher cut or specific ankle support features.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size and that laces are loosened before trying them on. If the issue persists, consider a half-size larger or a different model.

Discomfort during runs

Verify the sizing and ensure laces are tied correctly to provide adequate support. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting longer distances.

Tread pattern wear

Normal wear and tear will occur over time. If grip significantly diminishes on dry or wet surfaces, it may be time to consider replacement.
