FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Gel-Pulse 17 is specifically designed for road and asphalt surfaces and may not provide the necessary traction or protection for uneven trail terrain.
How should I clean my Gel-Pulse 17 trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for the outsole. Do not submerge them in water or use a washing machine.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning system is designed to provide superior shock absorption, which helps protect your joints by reducing the impact force during every stride.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, you can remove the existing insole to accommodate custom orthotics if required for your specific foot support needs.
Are these trainers true to size?
The Gel-Pulse 17 generally follows standard athletic sizing; however, it is always recommended to refer to the specific UK sizing guide provided for your fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after a run
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened and check that the shoe size allows for a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the trainer.
Outsole losing traction
Clear any trapped debris or gravel from the tread patterns on the rubber outsole to restore surface contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Pulse 17 trainers, avoid washing them in a machine, which can compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as excessive heat can cause the materials to deform. When fitting, ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the midfoot to leverage the ergonomic design for maximum support.
