What is PureGEL technology?

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or pain during runs

First, check your lacing; ensure it's snug but not overly tight. Review your shoe size for proper fit; consider visiting a specialist for a gait analysis. For persistent pain, consult a medical professional.

Shoes feel heavy or damp after a run

Ensure you are allowing your shoes to air dry completely between uses, ideally for at least 24 hours. The breathable upper helps, but moisture can accumulate. If running in wet conditions, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and aid drying.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and weight. If cushioning feels diminished, it might be time to replace your shoes. Also, ensure they are not consistently compressed during storage.

Slipping or lack of grip on asphalt

While designed for asphalt, certain conditions like wet leaves or loose gravel can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean. If the tread is significantly worn down, it's time for new shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure your shoes are laced properly for a secure yet comfortable fit. Avoid tying them too tightly, which can restrict blood flow, or too loosely, which can lead to instability.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape before undertaking long runs.

Compatibility

  • Use: Best suited for training runs.

Care

  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes completely between uses. Avoid using a dryer or placing them on a radiator, as excessive heat can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for excessive wear, and the upper for tears or damage, which might indicate it's time for a replacement or repair.
