FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity gym training?
While they provide excellent cushioning for cardio, they are primarily designed for walking and running. For heavy lifting, a flatter, more stable base might be preferred.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, the GEL-CUMULUS 16 was originally built as a performance runner and retains the shock absorption features necessary for long-distance comfort.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, this model is designed as a unisex trainer; please refer to the specific UK size guide to ensure the best fit.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling.
What is the best way to clean the white/cream finish?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or mild soap with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges that could scuff the synthetic leather.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Try a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet to secure the heel lock.
Accumulated dirt in the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush while the mud is dry to gently dislodge particles from the polyester mesh.
Feeling of stiffness in the sole
The shoe may require a short 'break-in' period of 5-10 miles of walking to allow the FLYTEFOAM to flex naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your GEL-CUMULUS 16, start by adjusting the lace tension to your preferred snugness without restricting blood flow. These trainers are unisex, but ensure you select the appropriate UK size conversion. Regarding care, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic adhesives. Instead, clean the polyester and leather upper using a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
