FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the materials are durable and robust, they are not marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
These are designed for versatile use, including trail and urban exploration, rather than competitive road racing.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The structure is generally accommodating, but individual fit can vary; we recommend trying your standard size first.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, high-impact footwear should be evaluated for wear every 300-500 miles of use.
Is the sole removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The shoe features a supportive design that often requires a short break-in period. Try wearing them for short walks over a few days to allow the materials to adapt.
Accumulation of debris in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to knock out small stones or mud caught in the traction lugs after every use to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GEL-VENTURE 6 trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK sizing; ensure you have enough room in the toe box for natural foot expansion.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after trail use. Clean the upper with mild soap and cold water if needed. Avoid machine washing, which can break down the adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and degradation of the foam midsole.
