FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Gel-Pulse 17?

The main benefit is enhanced underfoot cushioning provided by FF BLAST and GEL technologies, offering a comfortable and smooth experience for running and general activities.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While they offer good cushioning for daily runs, they are best suited for general running and fitness. For marathon distances, specialized long-distance running shoes might offer more targeted support and durability.

How do I clean my Gel-Pulse 17 trainers?

You should spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or full immersion in water to protect the materials.

What does the 'solution dyeing process' for the insole mean?

It's an environmentally friendly dyeing method for the insole material that uses significantly less water and produces fewer carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods.

Can I wear these for high-impact sports like basketball?

These trainers are designed for running and general fitness. For sports requiring lateral support and specific court traction like basketball, dedicated basketball shoes are recommended.

What is the heel height of the Gel-Pulse 17?

The heel height is flat, typically ranging from 1 to 3 cm.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is made from a technical mesh, designed for breathability.

Troubleshooting

Unusual noise (squeaking)

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting. Ensure the laces are not overly tight.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning materials naturally compress with use. Ensure the shoes are not used for activities beyond their intended purpose and consider replacing them after significant mileage or wear.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try different lacing techniques to adjust the fit. Wearing appropriate athletic socks can also help prevent rubbing.

Traction seems diminished

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and brush to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
