Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or narrow
The Gel-Cumulus 27 may have a standard width. Consider trying a half-size up or a wider width option if available, or break them in gradually with shorter runs.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Cushioning materials naturally degrade with mileage. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use, depending on your weight and running style.
Slipping during runs
Ensure the laces are tied securely. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down, or the surface may be wet or exceptionally smooth. Check for outsole wear and consider conditions.
Discomfort after a run
Ensure proper fit and lacing. If persistent discomfort occurs, the shoe might not be suitable for your specific foot type or gait. Consult a running specialist if needed.
