FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The GEL-CUMULUS 27 is designed as a neutral shoe. If you have severe pronation issues, you may want to consult with a podiatrist to see if additional orthotic support is required.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No. Heat from a dryer will degrade the performance of the foam and can cause the mesh upper to shrink or warp.
What is the primary difference between PureGEL and traditional foam?
PureGEL is a specific material focused on impact absorption at the point of strike, whereas the FF BLAST PLUS foam provides the structure and responsiveness for the remainder of the gait cycle.
Are these reflective details effective in total darkness?
The reflective details are highly effective when exposed to artificial light, such as from car headlights, but they do not emit their own light.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during long runs
Check your lacing pattern to ensure the midfoot is secure without being overly tight, and verify that the sockliner is properly seated.
Reflective material appears dim
Reflective elements require a direct light source to trigger visibility. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove dust that may be blocking the reflective coating.
Excessive midsole wear
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on paved or track surfaces; frequent use on abrasive gravel or rocky terrain can accelerate foam degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers perform optimally, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging them or using a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place shoes in a dryer or near a direct heat source, as extreme temperatures can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
- Rotation: For best results, rotate between two pairs of shoes to allow the foam compression set to fully recover between runs.
