How should I clean my GEL-CUMULUS 28 trainers?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted properly. Try different lacing techniques or consider if the size is appropriate. The engineered mesh upper will conform to your foot over time, but initial discomfort might require adjustments.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Midsole foams can degrade with extensive use. While designed for durability, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when noticeable changes in cushioning occur.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the FLUIDRIDE outsole offers good traction, very slick or wet conditions can still pose a challenge. Exercise caution, especially on wet roads or painted lines. Ensure the AHAR LO heel plug is not excessively worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are laced correctly to provide a snug, comfortable fit. The heel drop is 8mm, which is standard for many running shoes.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners and can be used with most types of running socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
