FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Gel-Task 4 is designed specifically for indoor court surfaces and may wear down quickly on abrasive outdoor surfaces.
What sport are these best for?
They are ideal for indoor court sports such as volleyball, squash, or badminton that require lateral stability.
Does the leather material make the shoe heavy?
While leather provides durability, the shoe incorporates breathable panels to keep the overall weight balanced for agility.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if necessary.
How should I clean the white sections?
Use a gentle leather cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush, then wipe dry immediately.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage inside the shoe during movement
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically to lock the heel in place, or consider using sport-specific athletic socks that add friction.
Outsole losing traction on the court
Wipe the soles with a damp towel to remove dust and debris build-up, which is common in indoor gym environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Task 4 trainers, keep these maintenance tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the leather.
- Drying: If the shoes get damp during an intense match, air-dry them in a cool, ventilated area. Never place them directly on radiators or use a hairdryer, as extreme heat can cause the leather to crack and the adhesive to weaken.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
- Compatibility: These are designed for indoor court surfaces. Using them on outdoor courts may void performance benefits and significantly decrease the lifespan of the outsole.
