FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Gel-Venture 11 features a breathable mesh upper, which is designed for ventilation rather than waterproofing.
Can I use these for road running?
While you can, the outsole is designed for trails and will wear down significantly faster on asphalt or concrete.
How do I choose the right size?
We recommend choosing your standard athletic shoe size, ensuring there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the toes.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The Gel-Venture series offers moderate support; however, if you have specific orthotic needs, you can remove the existing insole and replace it with a custom insert.
How often should I replace these hiking shoes?
Generally, it is recommended to replace trail shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your hikes and the condition of the outsoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after an hour of hiking
Feet often swell during exercise; ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks and consider loosening the laces slightly mid-hike.
Debris getting inside the shoe
Consider using gaiters designed for trail runners to cover the gap between your ankle and the shoe collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest life for your Gel-Venture 11s, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Break-in: Wear your shoes for short walks on flat surfaces for 2-3 days before attempting longer, technical hikes.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. If the shoes are muddy, hand-wash them with a mild detergent and lukewarm water; do not submerge them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or blow dryers, as this can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and fabrics from becoming brittle.
