FAQs
Is the Gel-Kinetic 2.0 suitable for long-distance running?
While it features running-inspired technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than high-performance distance running.
How do I determine the right size?
The Gel-Kinetic 2.0 fits true to size, but the structural TPU cage may offer a more secure, snug feel than softer performance shoes.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand clean these trainers to preserve the synthetic overlays and the performance properties of the midsole materials.
What is the primary function of the TPU TRUSSTIC cage?
The cage is designed to add torsional rigidity and stability, helping to maintain the shoe's shape and support the foot during natural movement.
Are these shoes unisex?
The product range includes unisex sizing options, though you should always verify the specific gender and size label on your chosen variant.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The TPU cage provides structural support; break in the shoe by wearing it for shorter periods before extended daily use.
Difficulty cleaning mesh areas
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a gentle toothbrush, being careful not to scrub too hard to prevent fraying the mesh.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your UK sizing before purchase, as the structural overlays can provide a snugger feel than standard lightweight mesh runners.
Care Instructions:
- Surface Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the mesh upper.
- Stain Removal: Wipe synthetic overlays with a damp, soft cloth using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent glue degradation or material warping.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the GEL pods and foam midsole.
