FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, their durable cushioning makes them a comfortable choice for long-distance training and marathon completion.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, the stable base makes them suitable for general gym activities and light weightlifting.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 400-500 miles, depending on the intensity of use.
Are they waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper that allows air and moisture to pass through to keep feet cool.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they typically fit true to standard athletic sizing for men, though it is always recommended to allow for a thumb's width of space in the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing method to secure the ankle collar.
Outer sole shows uneven wear
This may indicate a natural gait bias; consider a gait analysis to see if an orthotic insert is required.
Upper material appears dusty or dirty
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you are wearing your preferred running socks during initial sizing. The Gel-Pulse 17 is a neutral runner shoe; those with specific overpronation needs may require additional custom inserts. To maintain your trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent the glue and cushioning materials from degrading.
