FAQs

What makes the GEL cushioning system unique?

The Scutoid GEL cushioning system has a unique shape designed to absorb shock more effectively, providing enhanced softness and stability compared to traditional GEL technologies.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The US7-S Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed for versatility, including light training and workouts. While they offer good cushioning and responsiveness from the FF Blast™ Plus ECO technology, they are primarily geared towards a blend of style and everyday comfort rather than high-performance marathon running.

What does 'ECO' in FF Blast™ Plus ECO refer to?

The 'ECO' designation signifies that the FF Blast™ Plus cushioning technology is made using recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product lifecycle.

How do I clean the unique two-tone mesh?

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh detergents that could damage the delicate structure or color.

What is the main inspiration behind the design?

The design is inspired by the STREAL 361 soccer spike, the concept of insulated grottos, and the visual artist Edith Dekynd, blending retro-sporty elements with contemporary materials and construction techniques.

Can these trainers be worn by men and women?

Yes, the US7-S Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of any gender.

What is the benefit of the synthetic overlays?

The synthetic overlays are integrated into the upper construction to provide additional durability and support to the mesh material, helping the shoe maintain its structure.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting them on. Try re-lacing them to distribute pressure more evenly. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The cushioning technology is designed for longevity, but for optimal performance, ensure the shoes are clean. Over time, with extensive use, cushioning naturally diminishes. Regular cleaning can help maintain the feel.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth only, as harsh chemicals can alter the color of the textile and synthetic components.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can occasionally happen due to moisture trapped between layers or slight outsole separation. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, inspect for any foreign objects or damage.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and synthetic materials with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole and GEL components with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the sole grooves.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the material's integrity and color.
