FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
While they feature trail-ready tread, they are designed for light outdoor use and walking rather than long-distance technical hiking.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh soaps or machine washing the trainers.
Is the GEL technology visible?
Yes, the rearfoot GEL technology is integrated into the heel section to provide visible and functional shock absorption.
Do these fit true to size?
The Gel-Ventx typically follows standard sizing; however, since they are leather, they may feel snug at first before molding to your foot.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper provides some protection, but they are not waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a leather-safe water repellent if you live in a damp climate.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or tight initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break in the material, or use a leather conditioning spray to soften the fibers.
Accumulation of mud in the tread
Once the mud has dried, use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the grooves of the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Ventx trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water, as this can cause the material to stiffen or crack upon drying.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary, followed by a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the silver accents.
- Break-in: If you find the leather feels tight, wear them for shorter durations during the first week to allow the material to naturally contour to your foot shape.
