FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
They are ideal for training miles leading up to a marathon, offering the cushion required for long-duration road work.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While designed for running, the stable platform makes them suitable for moderate weight training and general gym fitness.
How often should I replace them?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Are these waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed for breathability and are not waterproof.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is specifically placed to provide shock absorption where the foot experiences the most impact, primarily at the heel.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability or discomfort during runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly to lock the heel in place and check that you have the correct size for your arch type.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a dull tool or brush to gently remove gravel or small stones trapped within the tread patterns to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your sizing through a professional fitting as the Gel-Pulse 17 follows standard adult sizing. For long-term maintenance, avoid washing your trainers in a machine, as this can degrade the foam and glue structures. Instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run and wipe the surface with a damp cloth if necessary. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from hardening or cracking.
