FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Gel-Pulse 17 features a breathable mesh upper which allows for airflow but is not waterproof.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are designed for road and asphalt. They lack the aggressive lug pattern needed for loose or muddy trail surfaces.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
How do I clean the upper fabric?
Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to spot clean. Do not put them in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the GEL cushioning.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The ergonomic design is standard, but the lightweight, flexible upper accommodates a variety of foot shapes. If you have very wide feet, consider trying a half-size up.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'runner's loop' at the top eyelets to better lock in the heel.
Outer sole wearing down quickly
Ensure you are primarily running on road surfaces and not using the shoes for abrasive activities like gym floor sports.
General discomfort or arch pressure
Verify that your current socks are not too thick and consider an aftermarket orthotic insert if you have high arches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your Gel-Pulse 17 trainers will extend their lifespan significantly. To maintain the shoes, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your run and avoid submerging them in water, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive. If the insoles become damp from sweat, remove them to air-dry separately. Ensure you are selecting the correct size; as these are UK-sized adult trainers, measure your foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest. If the fit feels too tight across the midfoot, ensure the lacing is adjusted evenly from the bottom eyelets to distribute pressure correctly.
