FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity gym workouts?
While the cushioning is excellent for walking and light movement, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers; for heavy lifting, you may prefer a shoe with a flatter, firmer sole.
How do I determine if this is the right size for me?
This model follows standard UK sizing. We recommend having about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the internal Gel and foam structures. Always clean them by hand.
Is the mesh upper waterproof?
No, the mesh is designed for breathability. It is not waterproof, so avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the primary difference between the cushioning technologies?
Flytefoam offers lightweight rebound, Fluidride helps with smooth transitions, and Gel provides targeted shock absorption at impact zones.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or lack of grip on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are free of debris or compacted mud that can reduce traction.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Check the lacing tension; avoid overtightening across the midfoot to allow the mesh to flex naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Cumulus 16 trainers, follow these basic care steps:
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge or machine wash, as this may degrade the cushioning materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the adhesive from weakening or the materials from becoming brittle.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK fit; ensure you are using the correct size, as the mesh upper is designed to contour closely to the foot. If you use custom insoles, remove the existing factory liner first to maintain internal volume.
