FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Gel-Venture 6 is not explicitly waterproof; while the materials are durable, they are designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, they are suitable for light road running, though they are specifically optimized for trail-to-city versatility.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and surface wear.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is standard, but the lacing system is highly adjustable, allowing for a personalized fit for many foot shapes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the cushioning technology.
Are these unisex?
Yes, this series is designed to accommodate various foot shapes across all genders, provided you select the correct UK sizing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser through the midfoot eyelets to accommodate higher arches or wider feet.
Dirt stuck in the outsole grooves
Use a stiff-bristled brush or a toothpick to carefully dislodge rocks and debris from the tread pattern to maintain traction.
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Stuff the shoes with dry newspaper or a moisture-absorbing insert overnight after heavy use to draw out perspiration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Fitting: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate natural foot swelling during walking.
- Cleaning: Remove caked-on mud from the outsole using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the materials.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials or damage glue bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Remove the insoles occasionally to allow moisture to evaporate fully from the footbed.
