Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your GEL-Cumulus 16 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 15-20 miles of walking or light jogging for the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Clean surface stains using a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesive and foam properties.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the materials to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area. Avoid leaving the shoes in high-heat environments like the trunk of a car, as high temperatures can compromise the integrity of the GEL technology.
