FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they utilize running-derived technology for comfort and stability, they are primarily positioned as lifestyle trainers for daily wear.
Does the Gel-Kinetic 2.0 offer arch support?
Yes, the inclusion of the TRUSSTIC cage system provides structural stability and support in the midfoot area.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof.
How should I clean the synthetic overlays?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a tiny amount of mild detergent, wiping gently to avoid damaging the finish.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally align with standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points during use
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser over the top of the foot and ensure you are using the correct UK size.
Accumulation of debris in the outsole grooves
Use a specialized sneaker brush or a dry toothbrush to gently dislodge gravel or dirt from the rubber grooves.
Mesh becoming dirty after outdoor use
Wipe with a damp, soft cloth immediately after exposure to mud; allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kinetic 2.0 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical athletic shoe size.
- Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to lock the heel in place without putting undue pressure on the bridge of the foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid fully submerging the trainers in water to maintain the integrity of the synthetic overlays.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can cause synthetic materials to degrade or colors to fade over time.
