Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit, or explore lacing techniques for a more customized feel.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can diminish over time with heavy use. Ensure you are using them for their intended purpose (training/casual) and not for intense running, which can accelerate wear.
Upper material appears dirty.
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution to gently wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, consult specific shoe cleaning guides for synthetic materials.
