FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gel Mai is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear and is not intended for professional-level running or high-intensity sports.
How do I clean the mesh and synthetic overlays?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a clean, damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning the overlays. Allow them to air dry away from heat sources.
Does the sizing run true to fit?
The trainers follow standard UK sizing; however, due to the unique construction, some users may prefer a half-size larger if they have wider feet.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to use custom orthotics.
What is the primary material used?
The Gel Mai utilizes a mix of premium synthetic materials and mesh to provide both structural support and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Laces feeling too tight or loose
The Gel Mai features a unique wrap-around lacing system; take time to adjust the tension individually at each eyelet to achieve a balanced fit.
Heel slippage
Ensure the collar is properly positioned and consider using a 'runner's knot' through the top eyelets if additional heel lock is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel Mai trainers maintain their shape and function, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot width upon first wear, as the lacing system is more complex than standard sneakers.
- Care Instructions: Clean surface dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the specialized materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy and material integrity.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizes and pair best with casual trousers, denim, or athletic-inspired streetwear.
