FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
While it was designed as a performance runner, modern advancements have surpassed this 2014 model. It is best used for walking, light gym work, and casual wear.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and cushioning materials. Stick to manual cleaning with a damp cloth.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Gel-Cumulus 16 offers moderate, neutral cushioning that provides a stable base suitable for most arch types.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow and is not treated to be waterproof.
Can I replace the insoles with orthotics?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest and aim for a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before wiping with a damp cloth.
Sensation of slippage
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets and consider using a 'runner's loop' at the top eyelet for a more secure heel lock.
Odors after extended wear
Remove the inner sockliner to air out and sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoe when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure you verify your UK sizing (7.5 for this variant) as sizing can vary between brands. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe down the mesh and overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the insoles become damp after heavy use, remove them to air dry separately to prevent odor buildup. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and materials.
