FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GEL-NIMBUS™ 10.1 trainers are designed with advanced cushioning for general comfort and light activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with targeted support and responsiveness might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes. Allow them to air dry completely.

What is the TRUSSTIC™ system?

The TRUSSTIC™ system is a component located in the midfoot that provides stability and support by controlling torsion (twisting) of the shoe.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The synthetic and leather materials can be affected by prolonged exposure to heavy rain. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to ensure they are properly dried afterwards.

What is the main difference between this and modern trainers?

The GEL-NIMBUS™ 10.1 focuses on recreating a classic aesthetic and comfort profile from 2008. Modern trainers often incorporate newer materials and more advanced biomechanical designs tailored for specific athletic purposes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping. It's recommended to try them on at the end of the day when feet are typically slightly larger.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to the brand's sizing chart if unsure. Break-in periods can vary; try wearing them for short durations initially.

Cushioning feels stiff

New trainers may require a short break-in period for the cushioning to fully adapt to your foot. Wear them for progressively longer periods.

Discoloration on leather parts

This may be due to exposure to elements. Clean gently with a leather cleaner and apply a leather conditioner. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Smell inside the shoe

Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert, and ensure the shoes are aired out properly after use. Consider using insoles that can be removed and washed.
