FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed to let moisture escape, which means they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
You can, but they are optimized for trail surfaces; the outsole grip will wear down faster on hard, abrasive road surfaces.
How should I clean the shoes?
Brush off dry mud and wipe with a damp cloth. Do not submerge them or use harsh detergents.
Are these true to size?
ASICS trail trainers generally run true to size, but consider a half-size up if you plan to wear thick, heavy-duty hiking socks.
What is the purpose of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is placed in the heel to attenuate shock during the landing phase, providing better comfort and joint protection.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the terrain and your running style.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during long hikes
Ensure the shoe is laced snugly but not too tightly to allow for natural foot swelling; consider replacing the stock insole with a custom orthotic if needed.
Excessive dirt buildup on outsole
Use a stiff brush or a pressurized water nozzle on a low setting to clear debris from the multidirectional lugs after use.
Laces coming undone on trails
Double-knot the laces or swap them for textured laces that provide more friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Venture 11s, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and foam properties. Instead, clean the exterior by brushing off dried mud with a soft-bristled brush. If the interior gets wet, remove the OrthoLite insole and let the shoe air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources. Because these are performance trail shoes, ensure your socks are made of synthetic or wool blends to complement the moisture-wicking properties of the insole.
