FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Gel-Pulse 17 offers good cushioning for moderate distances. For marathon running, consider a model specifically designed for long-distance endurance with more advanced support features.
Can I wear these for cross-training activities like HIIT?
They provide general support for gym activities. However, for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that involves significant lateral movement, a shoe with more pronounced lateral stability might be preferable.
How do I know if the sizing is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
What does the solution dyeing process for the insole mean for the environment?
Solution dyeing significantly reduces water usage and greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods, making the production process more sustainable.
How often should I replace my Gel-Pulse 17 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 km) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.
Is the white colorway difficult to keep clean?
White footwear requires regular cleaning. Follow the care instructions provided, using a mild soap and damp cloth for spot cleaning to maintain their appearance.
What type of running surface are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are most suitable for road running, paved surfaces, and light trails. They offer good shock absorption for these conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causes discomfort.
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's profile suits your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
Midsole cushioning naturally degrades over time and mileage. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles of running or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Upper mesh appears dirty.
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Blot away excess moisture and allow to air dry.
Heel area shows premature wear.
The AHARPLUS reinforcement is designed for durability. Ensure your gait is natural; excessive heel striking or dragging can accelerate wear. Clean the heel area regularly to remove abrasive dirt.
