How does the GEL technology benefit the wearer?

What materials are used in the upper construction?

Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using slightly thicker socks if the fit is only marginally tight.
Reduced cushioning over time
While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can naturally diminish with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (casual wear) and avoid excessive wear and tear.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but caution is still advised on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal traction.
