Full details

FAQs
Is the Gel-Cumulus 27 suitable for flat feet?
This shoe is a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support, you may need to replace the stock sockliner with a custom orthotic.
Can I use these for treadmill running?
Yes, the cushioning and breathability make this an excellent choice for indoor treadmill sessions.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, the performance foam and structural integrity are designed to last between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, the Gel-Cumulus 27 follows standard athletic footwear sizing, but it is recommended to size up by half a size if you prefer extra room for toe splay.
Are these vegan friendly?
The upper is constructed from 100% recycled materials and no animal-derived materials are used in the construction process.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a few miles
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces slightly before starting your run.
Excessive movement in the heel
Use the runner's loop or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar against your foot.
Dirt buildup in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the dried dirt out of the mesh pores after the shoe has fully dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Cumulus 27 stays in top condition, start by ensuring the correct fit; there should be a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Use the integrated heel pull tabs to avoid crushing the heel counter when sliding your foot in, as this preserves the internal structure. For cleaning, remove the sockliner and hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Wipe the exterior mesh with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam cushioning properties. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
