FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL-QUANTUM KEI shoe?
The main benefit is its lightweight design combined with FLYTEFOAM cushioning and GEL technology, providing exceptional comfort for everyday wear and light activities.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
These shoes are best suited for everyday comfort and light sports. For marathon running, specialized shoes with advanced support and cushioning might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth to clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoes.
Can I return these shoes if the size is wrong?
Yes, please ensure you try the footwear on before returning. Be aware that the box or label might state a US/Euro size which is different from the UK size.
What does 'kei' mean in the shoe's name?
'Kei' is a Japanese word that means lightness, reflecting the shoe's design focus on providing a light and comfortable feel.
Is the outsole slip-resistant?
Yes, the rubber outsole features a non-slip tread pattern designed to provide stability.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the sizing chart and double-check your UK measurement. Try the footwear on before returning if possible, as box/label sizes may differ from UK sizing.
Reduced cushioning over time
While FLYTEFOAM and GEL technology are designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if comfort is significantly diminished.
Slight stiffness in the upper
Synthetic uppers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
