Can I replace the insole?

How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface, weight, and individual gait.
What does the 'Neutral' ride categorization mean?
It means the shoe is designed for runners who do not require significant extra support for overpronation, offering a balanced, natural foot motion.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight across the instep and verify that your size is accurate for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning responsiveness
Allow the shoe to rest for 24 hours between runs to let the midsole foam recover its shape and compression properties.
Outsole debris collection
Use a small brush to remove pebbles or dirt from the outsole channels to maintain the smooth transition characteristics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Cumulus 27 trainers, follow these guidelines. Ensure you are wearing the correct size, as the engineered mesh upper conforms to the foot for a snug, secure lockdown. For care, do not machine wash or dry your shoes. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials. Periodically inspect the outsole for debris to maintain the integrity of the FluidRide transition system.
