FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ASICS Gel-Venture 11 features a breathable upper which is designed for airflow, meaning they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While they are comfortable, the outsole is designed for trail traction and may wear down faster on abrasive concrete or asphalt surfaces.
How should I clean the shoes if they get muddy?
Brush off dry mud and clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
Do these shoes come in wide sizes?
Currently, the standard models are provided in specific size profiles; check the size guide to see if your required fit is available.
How long will the GEL cushioning last?
Typically, the cushioning maintains its performance properties for 300-500 miles, depending on the terrain and user weight.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock the heel in place and prevent forward movement.
Build-up of dirt in the outsole lugs
Use a stiff plastic brush or a dull butter knife to dislodge debris after your outdoor session to maintain traction.
Insole feels uncomfortable after long use
Consider replacing the standard insole with an aftermarket orthotic if you require specific arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Venture 11 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short walks before attempting longer trail runs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud or dirt with a soft brush after every trip. If the shoes are very dirty, hand-wash them with mild soap and lukewarm water. Do not submerge them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the cushioning materials and cause the rubber to warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct UV exposure to maintain the integrity of the breathable upper and the elasticity of the GEL components.
