How should I clean my Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers?

Can these shoes be used for trail running?
They are primarily designed for road running. While they may handle very light trails, they are not optimized for technical or rugged terrain.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and type of running socks. Try lacing the shoes differently or loosen them for the first few runs to allow for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if a different width or model is more suitable.
Reduced cushioning after several uses
The FF Blast+ Eco foam is designed for durability, but significant compression might occur over very high mileage. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as dirt and moisture can sometimes affect perceived cushioning. If the cushioning has genuinely degraded, it may be time to consider replacement.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. For wet conditions, be aware that grip may be reduced. Running in wet conditions inherently carries more risk of slipping, so adjust your pace accordingly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These running shoes require no assembly. Simply lace them up and go. It is recommended to wear them for a few shorter runs to allow them to adapt to your foot shape and gait.
Compatibility:
- Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners or those with mild overpronation.

Care:
