Yes, the removable sockliner allows for the insertion of custom orthotics or insoles, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology is strategically placed in the heel to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints.

Clean your trainers as needed when they appear dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and hygiene.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing the correct size and appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may decrease with extensive, high-impact use. Consider replacing trainers after significant mileage or wear.

Slight odor

Remove insoles and air out the shoes regularly. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.
